There are several dozen species of seahorses scattered all over the world. They are typically found in estuaries, bays, and coastal areas, with seahorses being found as far north as Norway and as far south as New Zealand. Even though seahorses are not the strongest swimmers, they are typically found resting around stationary objects in the water. For example, seahorses might be found hiding under a rock or trying to camouflage with a try.
