Hello everyone! I'm Sophia, the brainy Bubble Buddy from the stunning bay of Milos. They say I'm the smartest fish in the sea, but let's be honest, who really knows! 

Why do we need a competition on who is the best? Everyone is valuable, everyone has flaws. The important thing is to know that there's always something new to learn and I'm always diving headfirst into the unknown!

As a seahorse, I also have my very scientific name, Hippocampus which letterally means Sea Horse! Just like you are called Homo Sapiens, which litterally means Wise Man. You got it right, you have a scientific name too! Honestly, sometimes it makes me laugh! Wise? Sometimes you sound more like confused! But just kidding, eh! I know there are many of you who are really smart and care about our planet. I hope you will help us protect the sea, our home. Together we can do great things.

Back to me, I'm a bit of a unique fish. I swim upright, like a tiny underwater knight.
Here’s a fun fact, the dads are the ones who have babies! Interesting, isn't it? The Seahorse dads carry their babies in a little pouch on their belly until the little ones are ready to face the big wide ocean.

And, did you know that seahorses can change colour to blend in with their surroundings? It's like they have their own built-in camouflage!

Join me as we explore the wonders of the ocean. There's always something new to discover and it's all a lot of fun!

Here are some ideas for you to do. We would be happy if you would share them with us:

Draw Your Own Seahorse: Create a colourful drawing of Sophia the Seahorse. You can add fun details like seaweed, other fish or even a tiny scuba diver. It would be lovely for us to see your drawing.
Seahorse Dance: Pretend to be a seahorse and dance around the room. Move slowly and gracefully, like a real seahorse.
Seahorse Story: Write or draw a short story about a seahorse's adventure. What kind of adventures could a seahorse have? Do you want to share it with us?

Have fun exploring the underwater world of seahorses!
