The sun did briefly shine in Cambridge today on my last day in @CamZoology. It has been a monumental 5.5 years here, both professionally and personally. Words can't express my gratitude towards both the Department and the @MarineBehavEcol group for making me feel so at home 🐠

Trompetenfische schwimmen an Küstenbereichen tropischer Meere häufig dicht neben größeren Fischen. Einer aktuellen Studie zufolge handelt es sich dabei um eine besondere Form der Tarnung: Die langgestreckten Jäger verbergen sich so vor ihren Beutetieren. https://t.co/qUyHp2h3Ba
