Leafy Seadragon

Leafy Seadragon
(Phycodurus eques)

Found along the south and west coasts of Australia, the Leafy Seadragons leaf-like appendages allow it to blend seamlessly into the kelp and seaweed it drifts through, making it nearly invisible to both predators and prey!

​

Leafy Seadragons are also fairly solitary which is why scientists have a hard time figuring out how long they can live in the wild.
