SCIENCE TALK: THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SEA SLUGS

Location: The Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center

From dazzling colours and camouflage to stealing weapons from other animals and even harnessing the power of sunlight, sea slugs are far more remarkable than their humble name suggests.

This talk explores the incredible diversity and surprising adaptations of nudibranchs and other sea slugs, revealing how these tiny marine animals have evolved some of the most ingenious survival strategies in the ocean. Drawing on underwater photography and real-world examples, we’ll discover why sea slugs are both beautiful and scientifically fascinating—and what they can teach us about evolution, adaptation and life beneath the waves.
