Was Leaving the Ocean a Mistake?

from Creature Feature · host iHeartPodcasts

I'm joined by science journalist and author Cara Giaimo, to meet some of the real-life sea monsters from her book, Leaving the Ocean Was a Mistake. From tent-mouthed fish who kiss each other competitively, to ping-pong ball sponges that fooled the navy, these animals from every layer in the ocean have both cool life advice and freaky adaptations. Discover all this and more as we answer the age-old question: how do you enforce your boundaries when you're spineless? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
