Seahorse Symphony Opening Day



Saturday December 19th
Living Planet

This new exhibit celebrates one of the most captivating and charismatic species on the planet, and will feature several species of live seahorses and their relatives, including the unique and fascinating pipefish. The exhibit will also include an interactive reproductive component that will educate visitors about the unique reproduction of seahorses. Seahorses lock tails, change colors, swim snout-to-snout and whirl around in unison for days before engaging in a “true courtship dance” that lasts about eight hours. When one thing finally leads to another, it is the male of the species that becomes pregnant and carries the offspring.
