Marine biologist reacts to breaking ocean news and explains the science behind viral animal videos. From orcas eating great white shark livers, Neil the Seal, how AI is being used to translate the language of whales, to how we know Megalodon is extinct. My goal has always been to use my passion for animals like whales, sea otters, and walruses to form a connection with people and inspire them to engage in ocean conservation.

It is Sea Otter Awareness Week everyone! Kelp forests depend on sea otters to control populations of sea urchins and other kelp-eating animals. Reintroducing sea otters to the Northern California and Oregon coasts, where there has been a dramatic loss of kelp forests, could help restore and renew these vital ecosystems.

Can you name the ferret who had a cameo in my video on the evolution of marine mammals?

I've seen a lot of new subscribers lately, so I wanted to welcome people in and let everyone know what they can expect on my channel! I'm KP, a marine biologist who has primarily worked with marine mammals (with a few exceptions). I created the KPassionate channel in 2020 to share my love of ocean life, promote conservation organizations, and talk about science and current events in marine biology. Whenever I post a video, I always include links in the descriptions to cited sources, relevant studies, and related conservation organizations. Hope you enjoy!

By popular request, some Science Karen merch is live at my store. Because learning "stuff" > making "stuff" up.

Marine Biology livestream will be a little earlier than normal tomorrow so I can attend a fundraiser for polar bears. I'll be live at *4:00 pm Pacific* and talking all things polar bear, who are considered a marine mammal because they spend a majority of their lives on sea ice. Leave your questions in the comments!
