| 説明 | The alligator pipefish sucks up prey like a vacuum with its long straw-like mouth. The jaws are permanently locked together in this tube-like formation and this creature has no teeth. Slurping up tiny animals and plants with a force so strong, prey doesn’t have a chance to escape. The alligator pipefish’s feeding mechanism can be so loud that it can be heard from far away.AppearanceLooking like a seahorse that has been stretched out straight, the alligator pipefish is tube-like, thin and can be as long as 11 inches (29 cm). It is hard to see any distinct fins on the alligator pipefish. Colored in mottled shades of green and yellow, the alligator pipefish easily blends in with algae and seagrass. |
