Grab Shell, Dude

Today, we look at a favourite animal, the turtle. Our guest is doing his PhD on the Eastern Long Neck Turtle, common through much of Australia. Bruno Ferronato tells us some great stories from his fieldwork in the wild rivers of Peru. He travelled by boat and canoe, and lived among the villagers for his research on river turtles. Mosquitoes, leaches boa constrictor, and the occasional piranha are all part of the scenery. Bruno is studying at he Institute of Applied Ecology at the University of Canberra.
