this week for my science discovery i chose to do the leafy seadragon. the leafy seadragon is very interesting and unique. the leafy seadragon is named after the dragons the Chinese would talk about in the stories (myths). leafy seadragons look like they are seaweed because they blend in so well with the other drifting seaweed. now you should have an idea of what the seadragon looks like (seaweed). only the fluttering of its tiny fins or moving of its eyes are hints that give its camouflage away. when i look at the face of a seadragon it reminds me of a seahorse do it remind you of one? like the seahorse the male Seadragon carries as many as 150-200 eggs at a time. if you want to learn more about seadragons go to 25 of the worlds weirdest animals.
