Question

Did you know? Seahorses have no stomach. Their food goes directly from oesophagus to intestines, where it is digested as quickly as possible. That's why they have to eat almost constantly — an adult eats 30-50 times a day, mainly tiny crustaceans they suck up with a vacuum mouth.

Zeepaardjes hebben geen maag. Hun voedsel gaat direct van slokdarm naar darmen, waar het zo snel mogelijk wordt verteerd. Daarom moeten ze bijna constant eten — een volwassene eet 30-50 keer per dag, voornamelijk minuscule kreeftachtigen die ze met een zuig-mond opzuigen.
