Habitat and Distribution
There are several well known locations where the Common Seahorse lives. They include all over Australia as well as places in Indonesia. They prefer the warm tropical water locations along the shoreline. They live in bodies of water that have seawater in them.
You may find them well hidden among the sea grass that is found in those locations. You may have to look very close for them because they do blend in amazingly well. The water will need to be at least 72 degrees Fahrenheit. However, they also don’t do well if the water gets too hot. That is why they tend to stay in areas that do go about 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
Evolution
Even though there are some fossils of the Common Seahorse that date back 3 million years there isn’t much at all known regarding the evolution process. It is believed that they used to be substantially larger than they are today. The ability to live on less food is part of why they got smaller. The theories continue to float around though but there is very little concrete about how they branched off from other seahorse species due to the evolution process.
