Seahorses are small, thin fish. Even though they're fish, seahorses aren't great swimmers. Instead, they often use their tails(尾巴) to hold on to something in the water.
There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses. Many kinds of them are in danger because of the actions of humans. ,Sometimes people catch and sell them as pets. They are also sometimes caught by accident when boats are trying to catch other fish.
Seahorses are unusual because it's the males(雄性) who carry the babies. Males can carry over 100 babies at a time. When babies are born, they are about the size of a grain(谷粒) of rice.
On July 18, 2023,around 380 seahorses were set free into the wild. To begin the project, scientists collected three pregnant(怀孕的) male seahorses in January and brought them to the aquarium(水族馆) at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science(SIMS). After the babies were born, the scientists kept them at the aquarium for five months, looking after them. About a month before the young seahorses were set free, the scientists created eight underwater “hotels” to provide a safe place for them to develop. Putting the “hotels” into the sea early allowed the “hotels” to be covered with small sea life that can help provide food for the seahorses.
This is the fifth time the scientists have set free seahorses into the area. Brett Fenton, who works for SIMS, said, “We have high expectations(期待) that we'll see the number of the animals grow.”
4.In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans.
