Were you ever envious of the powers of Aquaman? In today's episode, "Training Sharks and Rays", the crew explores the fascinating world of training sea creatures. But did you know it's not just dolphins and sea lions that are trainable? Sharks and rays can be taught to do all sorts of things! We can train them to come to a specific location or sit on a hammock, all to enable them to participate in their own healthcare or move them to a new enclosure! Join us as we learn all about it with our new friend, Kaia, an aquarist at Sea Life Orlando! Thank you so much to Kaia for joining us this week!
This podcast is brought to you by the blind goby… Typhlogobius californiensis. Adults of this species are completely blind and lack pigmentation. Imagine a naked mole rat with fins as limbs and no teeth. There! You've got it. The blind goby lives in a perpetual obligate relationship with a crustacean host with whom it shares its burrow for its entire life. The shrimp provides the burrow which gives the fish shelter and the fish keeps the burrow clean by being a good roommate. Without the shrimp’s burrow, the blind goby would be unable to survive. Cheers to you, blind goby. May your burrow be clean and your shrimp be well fed.
