Episode 1
How well do you think you know our local squid species? You are about to find out! These cephalopods have strange and secret lives. Your imagination may conjure up the imposing Humboldt squid, a very large, silent predator with a sharp beak and tentacles containing hooks and suction cups with razor sharp teeth. Perhaps you picture, instead, the cute, small, googly-eyed stubby squid or the beautiful profile of a shimmering opalescent inshore squid. On this episode, Dr. Benjamin Burford, a post doctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Cruz, joins us as we learn from him about these mysterious animals. We have an inkling you will just love this episode!
