“Mr. Mom” - This nickname is given to the male seahorse because it is he who carries the eggs and gives birth in this species. This title is an addition to the Scientists in the Field series and highlights the work of naturalists researching the habits and habitats of seahorses. While much of the volume deals with coral reefs (seahorse habitat), there is substantial information about seahorses and beautiful photography. The book includes a short glossary, a list of additional resources (videos, books and websites) and a list of ways for the reader to help seahorses.
