The Longsnout Seahorse (Hippocampus reidi) can reach a length of 10 centimeters to 15 centimeters. Their color can vary considerably, ranging from black to orange-red, and occasionally yellow. They feed by sucking in small crustaceans and shrimp with their snout, which acts like a pipette. Seahorses can move their eyes independently, enabling them to detect prey or predators in their environment. The pairs are monogamous and perform a courtship ritual every morning to reaffirm their bond. Seahorses are also known for the unique brood care provided by the males. The fertilized eggs are carried in a pouch on the male, where they can develop in relative safety. When the young hatch, they swim out of the pouch, creating the illusion that the male is giving birth to the young. These animals are rare and are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
The Giant Tun Shell (Tonna galea) is a large snail with a maximum length of about 15 centimeters. he shell is round in shape, dark brown to reddish brown in color, with deep furrows and ridges on the outside. This snail species too is carnivorous and preys mainly on sea cucumbers. To catch its prey, the snail uses its two proboscises, elongated structures on its head that resemble a pair of antennae. These are used to grab the prey and inject a digestive enzyme to kill it. The same approach is also used to deter predators in case of danger.
The Queen Emma Bridge. Curaçao’s historic downtown, Willemstad, consists of Punda and Otrobanda. These two halves of the city center lie on opposite sides of the long mouth of the St. Anna Bay. To connect the two, the first version of the Queen Emma Bridge was constructed by Leonard Burlington Smith in 1888. Because the bridge needed to open regularly to allow larger vessels to pass, it was built on floating pontoons. Since its original construction, the bridge has been renovated several times, slightly changing its appearance. However, the basic design with the 16 pontoons on which it floats has remained the same. The bridge is still affectionately known as the Swinging Old Lady.
