Ever wondered why we know so little about male sea turtles?

So how much do we know about male sea turtles?In Episode 7, we welcome Brazilian Conservation Biologist, Renato Bruno, to help us unravel the mysteries of male sea turtles. Drawing from nearly a decade of experience in sea turtle research, Renato shares incredible insights - from surprising instances of giant leatherbacks mistaking boats for mates to exploring the key differences in biology and behaviour between males and females.Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that reveals the often-overlooked lives of male sea turtles, and expands our understanding of these incredible creatures.Links for additional reading:Saragoça Bruno, R., Restrepo, J.A. & Valverde, R.A.
