Nylon is a polymer that is made from petroleum products and is used to create a synthetic fabric. It is similar in texture to silk and was produced as an alternative to silk in the 1930’s. It became very popular when made into women’s stockings and was used extensively during the Second World War to make items such as parachutes and ropes.

The seahorse is a very interesting creature and has captured the attention of most people at least once in their lifetime. While it bears little resemblance to a fish the seahorse is in fact a member of the fish species. Its scientific name is Hippocampus. Seahorses have a head that closely resembles that of a horse thus the name. They also have a pouch for carrying young, like marsupials. It is the male seahorse that becomes pregnant and births the young. There are at least 80 different species of seahorse and they range in both size and color. Seahorses do not have scales as other fish do but instead have bony plates arranged in rings around their bodies. When swimming seahorses swim in an upright position and used their weak dorsal fin to propel them through the water. The seahorse also has pectoral fins behind their eyes that they use to steer. Their tail is prehensile meaning that it can be used to hold and gasp items and they can often be found resting with their tail grasping a piece of coral or seaweed.
