Tiny Critter Week Finale: Nudibranchs Do It Better

Published: July 8, 2022, 4:15 a.m.

We're wrapping up Tiny Critter Week with a reprise of one of our favorite episodes \u2014 nudibranchs. In this episode, Maddie and Emily got super nerdy, diving into the incredible world of nudibranchs. These sea slugs eye-catching for their colors, and some of them have evolved to "steal" abilities from other organisms \u2014 from the power of photosynthesis to the stinging cells of their venomous predators.

We'd love to hear which tiny critters you love \u2014 and which leave you puzzled. Reach us by sending an email to shortwave@npr.org.
