About this listen

Seals. Sea lions. Walruses. What’s the difference, and how can you tell which is which? Spoiler: you’ll find out in this episode. We sit down with Dr. Luis A Hückstädt and talk about blubber, ocean currents, whisker tech, tail nubbins and what’s up with elephant seals’ faces. Also: Which seal does Luis adore the most, and why do they sound like spaceships?
