The Ride of the Baby Seahorse Artwork

Many people are under the impression that Seahorses do not exist. Not only do they exist, they are quite intelligent and often, even as babies, form synergistic relationships with much larger species. In this case, the baby seahorse has partnered with a Drillfish. Drillfish are extremely fast swimmers, due to their unique propulsion system, but despite their strong jaws and sharp teeth, they are vulnerable to predators attacking from the side due to a lack of peripheral vision. The baby seahorse serves as a lookout, fending off predators with its hammer. Both species benefit from this relationship, as the baby seahorse no longer needs to expend all its energy slowly swimming, and the Drillfish gains a lookout to warn of predators in its blind spot. In addition to being synergistic, a warm friendship has developed between the two, and they have become besties.
