Why do Quolls have spots?
Imagine you've just been cancelled for a controversial opinion about Taylor Swift's musical output, and you have to go to ground. You can act like the Olsen twins, and hide behind big glasses and a big coat. Or you could take a lesson from nature and blend in, like a proverbial spotty quoll into the bush. When it comes to camouflage and animal markings, there's a lot we can learn from the animal kingdom. Featuring: Dr Belinda Wilson, The Australian National University. Associate Professor Tanya Latty, University of Sydney. Dr Quentin Fogg, University of Melbourne. Dr Kaia Tombak, Purdue University. Professor Marc Holderied, Bristol University. Production: Ann Jones, Presenter / Producer. Petria Ladgrove, Producer. Additional mastering: Isabella Tropiano. This episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the land of the Wadawarrung and Kaurna people.
