Patrick Krug

Marine biologist Dr. Patrick Krug, a professor at Cal State LA, dives into the vibrant world of sea slugs, revealing their breathtaking diversity—some are as tiny as a quarter, while others can weigh up to 30 pounds. He explores their unique feeding strategies, the fascinating ability to regenerate by detaching heads, and their stunning colors linked to chemical defenses. Krug also discusses kleptoplasty, where some slugs use stolen chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and shares insights on their reproductive quirks and contributions to neuroscience.
