Tommy Tiernan Show viewers were left amused and informed by an interesting segment about the sex lives of sea horses tonightKealan has dedicated his life to the breeding of seahorses, as he shared the devastating news that seahorses could be extinct in the next 20 years as a result of global warming and the over-fishing of seahorses in countries such as China where seahorses are used for aphrodisiac purposes.
He shared exactly how seahorses breed, and told viewers how seahorses dance together each morning after mating for life. However, the investor went bust, which left Kealan mired in debt and forced to relocate to Dublin with the last of his breeding stock. Kealan has been the subject of a three-part documentary about his work called The Seahorse Man. He told Tommy that the seahorse is a great figure head to get people interested in marine ecology and conservation.
