A disgruntled seahorse fact-checks a school report about him.



When a child writes a report about a seahorse, the creature himself has a few things to say about the animals he's compared to. First of all, he is nothing like a land horse. His tail is much more useful than an opossum's tail. And his snout fits his face perfectly--unlike an anteater's snout.

Delivering fascinating facts along the way, the seahorse sets the record straight about what makes his species so special.​
