:seahorse: The incredible journey: (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1181596/The-incredible-journey-Seahorse-miles-inland-scooped-seagulls-beak.html) Seahorse found three miles inland after being scooped up in seagull's beak

It is possibly one of the most amazing tales of survival against the odds - the seahorse found struggling for life three miles inland from the sea.

This rare long-nosed seahorse was scooped up by a seagull and flown dangling from its beak while being starved of oxygen and finally dropped from height to land on a lawn patrolled by a hungry cat.

It was only the quick-thinking of Karen Warr, armed with a fishslice and a bowl of tepid water, that prevented the unfortunate adult female, named Pegasus, from taking her last breath. ~Daily Mail Online

Talk about 'finding Nemo'... :swoon:

Neat story. What a tough little creature that seahorse is (can you just imagine how traumatic an experience that would have been for the poor little thing?)
