He reveals their intriguing biological features, such as their unique prehensile tails, their fins, and their lack of a stomach (seahorses only have intestines!). He speaks to experts about the fossil record of prehistoric seahorses, and examines their unique hunting strategy involving suction through their tubular (and toothless) snout. But the most unique aspect of the seahorses is their reproductive cycle, as it is the male of the species who becomes pregnant. Seahorses have become icons in feminist and transgender male communities for the way they can reshape human cultural notions of masculinity and fatherhood. Endlessly fascinating and charmingly approachable, The Curious World of Seahorses will captivate any reader looking to learn more about one of the most incredible creatures on Earth."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 700 1 $a Paschen, Ren�ee von, $e translator. 941 $a 6 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710064635.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240523010806.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020521.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231114010446.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231104011814.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231102010759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21C52630794511EEAB8C8A0C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
