Dive into the complexities of whale feeding with Jennifer Allen and Octopus colour language with Dr. Gabriella Scata

All the ways that humpback whales catch their food

Jennifer Allen (University of California Santa Cruz)

Humpback whales learn many ways to catch their food. They might have a favourite prey. Environmental conditions may change. Sometimes they just want to copy their friends! Come learn about what whale feeding can tell us about them and the ocean.

Octopus body language: many shades of colour

Gabriella Scata (The University of Queensland)

Octopus are known for their fast body colour changes. However, as many octopus species are often solitary animals, colour changes during social interactions are largely unexplored. Here we describe for the first time the body patterns expressed during social interactions in a GBR octopus.
