This week Amber and Jennifer travel to Southern Australia to learn about the Leafy Seadragon (Phycodurus eques), also known as Glauert's seadragon or just Leafies. We didn’t literally travel there, you know cause there’s a pandemic going on, and Australia is really far away from us… The Leafy Seadragon is a marine fish much like the more well known Seahorse, and it derives it’s name from the mythical dragon.
First, Potato head is a potato, and a plastic potato does not need to have a gender. So people, stop freaking out. Also, cancel culture has been used by both conservatives and liberals, so stop pretending that only one side is doing it.
The leafy seadragon has appendages that give it the appearance of seaweed, providing the creature with the perfect camouflage. When swimming or just floating through the ocean, they appearing to move through the water like a piece of floating seaweed. Leafy seadragons are bad swimmers and need their camouflage to avoid predation. Like seahorses, the male leafy seadragon cares for the eggs. Leafy seadragons have lots of threats, both natural and man-made, and will not reproduce in captivity.
Listen now to learn why Leafy Seadragons are better than human, and why they need to be conserved and protected.
