Episode: Episode 136 - Seahorses
Description: Seahorses are very strange fish, with their upright posture, tube-like mouths, and various other unusual features. Along with their cousins in the family Syngnathidae, seahorses have been the subject of much research into how they came about their bizarre body plans and lifestyles. In this episode, we discuss a bit of what we know of how seahorses (and their relatives) do what they do, and how they came to do it.
In the news: trilobite predators, early jaws, de-extinction troubles, and spinosaur bone density.
