Mysterious molluscs: from tiny snails to Darwin’s favourite octopus | Hidden Treasures | S2E3 P2
Help us explore the wonderful world of molluscs! In this episode, our host Conor is joined by Jon Ablett, Senior Curator in Charge of Molluscs, as we search through the collection for slugs, squids, snails and so much more! What’s the biggest snail in the world, and how small is the smallest? Why was Charles Darwin fascinated by a tiny octopus? And what on Earth is a mollusc anyway? Jon has all the answers.
