Sea Horses! non-herp coolness...

Here’s some photos from our recent Hawaiian trip. We visited the first & only Sea Horse farm in the US, Ocean Rider www.OceanRider.com & it was my favorite tour on our trip. These are true pioneers in raising CB Sea Horses & their efforts is helping to protect the wild populations, many of which have been over collected & are now endangered.

These are not the frail specimens you may see in a local aquarium; they are larger for one thing… and VERY colorful too.

The Sea Horses were very happy to see us. We got to feed them their favorite treat after all. We also got to “hold” them- that is to allow them to “hitch” to our submerged hands. I was lucky enough to have the most photographed Sea Horse in the world wrap his tail around my hand!







I hope you enjoyed the photos & will give their site a visit. IMHO, they are the “Bob Clark’s” of the Sea Horse world.
