    Weird Species #7: Sperm whales - Moby Dick's dark-skinned cousins
    Jun 13 2025
    Enric Sala used to be a professor of marine biology at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, California. Then he realized that he was "writing the obituary of the ocean", quit academia and started putting all of his efforts into conservation. In this episode of "Weird Species", he tells us all about it: partnering with National Geographic to tell captivating stories about ocean life and helping governments and communities all over the world to set up marine protected areas. But of course he also talks about his favorite animal, the sperm whale, and what it's like to see them up close.

    Enric Sala was awarded the Senckenberg Prize for Commitment to Nature 2024.

    Watch Enric Sala's TED talk about "turning the high seas into the world's largest nature reserve".

    Weird Species #6: Dorado Octopus - Deep Sea Super Powers

    In this episode of „Weird Species“, our guest is Dr. Janet Voight, renowned marine biologist and curator emerita of the Field Museum in Chicago. Earlier this year, she visited Frankfurt to assist with our new project „Secret Service“, which aims to highlight the often-forgotten contributions of women in science throughout Senckenberg’s history. But then of course we also talk species - in Janet’s case, the newly discovered so-called „dorado octopus“, a truly fascinating creature.

    Weird Species #5: Deep sea brains – Xenophyophores
    Dec 18 2024
    They kind of look like brains and live on the floor of our oceans in depths up to 10,000 meters: xenophyophores. Here to talk about them in this episode of "Weird Species" is world-renowned deep sea biologist Dr. Lisa Levin, this year's recipient of the Senckenberg Prize for Nature Research. She not only shares facinating insights about xenophyophores, but also about her long and distinguished career that took her all over the globe.
