Horsing Around

Dedicated E-mail: Monterey Bay Aquarium

Suspense! Intrigue! And a love affair to last a lifetime.

No, it’s not a big-screen blockbuster. The summer’s most captivating love story is The Secret Lives of Seahorses at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The new, interactive exhibit uncovers all the details of the mysterious animals’ love lives: their elaborate courtship dance, male pregnancy (in your dreams), and the immense challenges facing baby seahorses.

The supporting cast — all fifteen different species, like the exotic leafy sea dragons and topsy-turvy shrimpfish — puts on an award-worthy performance as well.

To catch the hit show before it leaves town, purchase advance tickets and plan your trip at montereybayaquarium.org/seahorses. For more insider info on the charismatic creatures, friend Herbie Hippocampus (a dashing Pacific seahorse) on Facebook for news updates, special events, and a bit of seahorse humor.

Call it a romantic comedy.
