Seahorses: Assassins of the sea

Anna is afraid of seahorses. She says it all started during a normal visit to the aquarium. The mere site of the mini creatures made her freeze. Ever since then, she can't even think about them without going numb.

Does she see something in seahorses that no one else can? On this week's episode of "Your Weirdest Fears," host Larry Mullins sits down with marine biologist and seahorse expert Dr. Lucy Woodhall to find out if these underwater animals are really as harmless as they seem.

You can learn more about Dr. Woodhall and her research at the organization Project Seahorse here.
