In honor of Valentine’s Day, our Cool Photo of the Week is this shot of a Pygmy Seahorse.
These tiny creatures are found in the waters off Southeast Asia. They live on soft corals or grasses which they use as camouflage.
These are some of the smallest seahorse species in the world - most are less than 2 centimetres (0.79 inches) tall.
This second photo, published by Ali Watters on TravelBlog, shows just how tiny the pygmy seahorse is - about the size of the fingernail on his pinky finger!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all our readers!
