Ep 21 - Orcas and Animal Intelligence

With the recent passing of one of SeaWorlds Orcas, I thought we could take a dive into the world of these fascinating and intelligent creatures. Creatures we are still learning so much about, including new types that were only found in the last 20 or so years. We also take a look at Animal intelligence or cognition, the different forms it takes and why it is so hard to quantify. Today's field notes at thebiomepodcast.com compliment this episodes technical sections so be sure to have a look at those too.
