See how the seahorse's curiously curved trunk, bent head and long snout help it to catch its dinner. Seahorses evolved from straight-bodied swimmers like pipefish. A new study published in the journal Nature Communications shows why a straight body might become S-shaped.

It looks like they stretch their tail out to build negative pressure in their bodies, and then open their mouths to relieve the pressure, causing their food to be suck in. what do you think of my theory?

Quite interesting! I enjoy watching them at the Manta Aquarium at SeaWorld. It's one of my favorite spots to sit and enjoy them. Thanks for the video!

im still trying to figure out the (unprovable) theory of evolution. So if I understand, I should be able to alter my dna by just doing something like holding onto something or alwys jumping off of small cliffs into water, then my kids do it too, and eventually our family down the lines , and we will develop wierd shaped hands and wings? ummm ftw? evolution makes no sense
