Summary
This episode delves into the fascinating and bizarre lives of Crested Auklets, small seabirds found off the coast of Alaska. Known for their unusual mating habits, they emit a sweet citrus scent to attract partners and possess unique beaks that fluoresce during the mating season. The birds are also remarkably choosy about their mates, with both sexes participating in the selection process, and their beaks are the only part besides feathers to fluoresce.Episode description
