The weedy sea dragon is closely related to the seahorses. It has gotten its name thanks to the leaf like appendages on its body. These appendages make sure the animal can hide very well between the kelp on the bottom of the sea. The weedy seadragon is only seen in the south of Australia and in Tasmania. It lives between three and fifty meters debt. It can reach a length of 45 centimeters. Their main color is orange/red and they have a big number of white spots on its body. Furthermore he has some bright blue stripes on its body and some yellow dots. In general the weedy seadragon has a single brood of eggs each year. The male caries the fertilized eggs for some two months. Afterwards the eggs hatch in a period of 6 days. Thanks to its splendid camouflage you will have to search well between the kelp.
