How Seahorses Came to Swim Upright

Seahorses are one of the most unique animals, having a horse-shaped head and an ability to swim in the upright position - a very rare occurrence in the animal kingdom.

A recent study by Australian researchers Professor Luciano Beheregaray of Flinders University and Dr. Peter Teske of Macquarie University has gathered scientific evidence to explain how the seahorse evolved and came to swim “standing up.”

The research began when the two scientists began to question the origins of the pygmy pipehorse, a small fish that looks like a seahorse. They began comparing genetic information and determined a relation between the upright-swimming seahorse and the horizontally-swimming pygmy pipehorse.

Using molecular dating techniques, the researchers found that seahorses lived 25 million years ago and started swimming upright when they shifted to a different habitat, just like how men started walking upright when they moved to the savannahs.

The Oligocene epoch saw an expansion of seagrass in Australasia, and this is where scientists believe the pygmy pipehorse and the seahorse separated. The seahorse moved to the seagrass, whose vertical blades offered camouflage and leading it to evolve to swimming upright.

On the other hand, the horizontal-swimming pygmy pipehorse remained on the reef and did not have the need to evolve into the upright posture.
