a secret about seahorses

what do dogs tigers skunks and dolphins have in common. They all have  tails. Most tails are round  if  you looked at  the  tail head on from the tip you'd see circle  (its cross section ) But the seashore's tail is square. It actually  a stack of 36 square  plates like the bumps in your spine each  square  is made up of 4 l shaped  bones. Scientists were  so curious about the  square tail that they made a plastic model of it to study. They  figured out that a square tail is actually stronger than a round  one making  it sea grasses and other  things The  square also sans back into place faster so it takes less energy to move the tail. scientists think this could help them build stronger robots in case those robots   ever need to grab some seaweed for dinner. How many sides dose a square have 4 sided.  seashores'  swim really slowy only about 5  feet per hour take 5 slow steps and count  them staring  with the number 4 what numbers do you say. 4 5 6 7 8.  Seashores  can be  as long as 14 inches  If your pet seahorse is just  1 inch shortener  than that how long is it  How does that compare  to your hand  13 inches which is a lot longer  than you're hand. A mana seahorse  can lay up to 1,500 eggs at a time if she laid 1,100 so far how many more could she lay 400 more eggs.  if ever  4th tail  plate of the 36 (starting with the 4th) has a pink l in it and every 6th has a blue one what the first plate that has both The 12 plate size it divisible by both 4 and 6.
