Seahorse

Seahorse is a small animal that lives, ironically, in the sea. It is a marine fish belonging to the genus Hippocampus of the family Syngnathidae. Seahorses are so named for their equine appearance.
For almost many aquarium hobbyists will keep seahorses as pets, seahorses collected from the wild tend to fare poorly in a home aquarium. They will eat only live foods such as ghost shrimp and are prone to stress in an aquarium, which lowers the efficiency of their immune systems and makes them susceptible to disease.

Seahorses are less likely to carry diseases which survive better in captivity. They will eat prepackaged, frozen mysis shrimp that are readily available from aquarium stores, and they do not experience the shock and stress of being taken out of the wild and placed in a small aquarium. Captive-bred seahorses survive better than wild seahorses and they are more expensive, and take no toll on wild populations.

Seahorses should be kept in an aquarium to themselves, or with compatible tank-mates. Seahorses are slow feeders, and in an aquarium with fast, aggressive feeders, the seahorses will be edged out in the competition for food. Special care should be given to ensure that all individuals obtain enough food at feeding times.

Seahorses can co-exist with many species of shrimp and other bottom-feeding creatures. Fish from the goby family also make good tank-mates. Some species are especially dangerous to the slow-moving seahorses and should be avoided completely: eels, tangs, triggerfish, squid, octopus, and sea anemones.

They are among the most graceful and intriguing animals of the ocean and their strictly monogamous lifestyle breaks one of the golden rules of biology - it is the male rather than the female who is left holding the baby.

The Arabian horse is a breed of horse with a reputation for intelligence, spirit, and stamina. The Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world, with a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage. It is one of the oldest horse breeds.

 Arabian horse close relationship with humans has created a horse breed that is good-natured, quick to learn, and willing to please. But the Arabian also developed the high spirit and alertness needed in a horse used for raiding and war. This combination of willingness and sensitivity requires modern Arabian horse owners to handle their horses with competence and respect.

Arabian horses have refined, wedge-shaped heads, a broad forehead, large eyes, large nostrils, and small muzzles. Most display a distinctive concave or "dished" profile. Many Arabians also have a slight forehead bulge between their eyes, called the "jibbah" by the Bedouin that adds additional sinus capacity, believed to have helped the Arabian horse in its native dry desert climate.

One of the most important aspects of their look is the condition of the horse’s hooves. If you are planning on preparing your Arabian’s hooves for a horseshow, just wash your horse’s hooves. A large amount of dirt and other grime gets stuck onto the face of your horse’s hoof, especially if he lives outdoors. Buffing and performing other steps to prepare his hooves for showing become difficult if these impurities are not removed. Washing the hoof does not have to be done with extreme care or a lot of supplies. Just blast water onto the face of hoof with a regular garden hose, and if needed, use a little soap to help dissolve and remove the grime.

You will recognize your horse's attitude by the position of his ears. This is a perfect starting point for those who are unaccustomed to being around horses. Generally, ears pointing forward indicate a friendly or curious attitude, or just general interest. Ears that are laid backwards and flattened against the horse's head are a warning horses use this posture to ward off unwelcome guests and assert their authority. If the horse becomes aggressive or defensive, flattened ears will accompany bared teeth, biting or kicking. Ears that are relaxed towards the outsides of the head mean that your horse is neither alarmed nor anxious, but calm and comfortable. These cues do change from one moment to the next, however, so be aware of possible disturbances such as loud noises or unfamiliar objects that might take your horse by surprise and adjust accordingly.
