SEA DRAGON

There are 2 types of Seadragons found in Australian Waters

The Weedy (Common) Seadragon and the Leafy Seadragon

Sea dragons are not sea horses. Sea dragons belong to the same family as sea horses but differ in 3 main ways -
a) Looks, they have "appendages" from their body which look like ether weeds or leafs (hence the two types)
b) They have no pouch for rearing the young (the male carries them in his tail)
c) Their tail does not coil up or grab objects (prehensile).
Seadragons swim by the same method as seahorses, that is by the rapid movement of their ventral and dorsal fins (on their neck and back)
