Did you know that the seahorse is one of the most skilled predators?

 Lions triumph in 25% of their hunts , sharks 60% , but horses leave them far behind capturing 90 % of their prey. And that their victims are moved at a speed of 3,000 km / h .

 It is even more amazing when you consider that the seahorse is one of the slowest sea creatures in the world. What is your secret? Its snout .

This is designed so that the move creates very few ripples in the water , reason, we can approach their prey undetected.
When hunting , neck arching hippocampus as a spring, allowing you to rotate the head quickly and suck their victims to 1mm away. Its muzzle you close without causing disturbances in the water, which announce their presence , said Dr. Brad Gemmell , University of Texas, who led the study published in the journal Nature Communications .
We see it as a tender and defenseless animal but for small crustaceans in their diet , the sea horse is a sneaky monster that lurks to catch mentions Very Interesting.
