SALTY CHARACTERS Pair a horse’s head with an aardvark’s snout, then tack on a kangaroo-like pouch and a monkey’s prehensile tail, and you get something akin to sea horses. The Monterey Bay Aquarium delves into these couldn’t-have-dreamed-them-up creatures with The Secret Lives of Seahorses. Opening April 6, the exhibit features 15 species of sea horses – and related sea dragons, pipe horses, and pipefish – and reveals their elaborate courting rituals, how males give birth, and how the tiny fry thrive. montereybayaquarium.org.
