When dinner fights back!
In a new study led by @DPHocking, we scanned and dissected a New Zealand fur seal with multiple facial wounds from chimaera fish and stingrays. Some of the spines were still in the #seal!
This is my second paper ever, read here:

True seals have a lot of diversity. Just look at their skulls!

Seals are the best semi-aquatic mammals: They can hear underwater and in air. Fully aquatic whales🐳 hear effectively underwater, and terrestrial mammals🐁 hear properly in air. Seals can do both!
Other semi-aquatic mammals can't do this! 🦦 3/N

A finishing touch to my #2019SVP presentation!
If you want to hear some exciting news on the evolution of seals, I'll be presenting on Wednesday in the Marine Tetrapods session at 11:45am

The Lake Baikal #Seal was a challenge to deal with while preparing #BioGeoBEARS files today.
It lives in a land-locked lake in Siberia. How did it get there? Was it put there by aliens? 👽 What is the #rstats code for that? #PhD
