Talk

For over 25 million years, baleen whales have been large, toothless and found all throughout the world's oceans. But this was not always so, early in their evolution they lived alongside their toothed cousins. Small bodied, large eyed and utterly unlike anything else in the fossil record. Join palaeontologist and PhD candidate Ruairidh Duncan as we explore what the toothed baleen whales did, why they are no more, what they tell us about their modern relatives and why, here in Australia, they got so fantastically weird.

Suitable for all ages.
