1000 Ways to Die from Animals!

What happens when your career involves chasing king cobras through Indonesian forests, working around crocodiles in the Sundarbans and northern Australia, diving with sea snakes, tracking Komodo dragons, and handling some of the world’s deadliest creatures?

Join Dr. Ruchira Somaweera for a thrilling and eye-opening journey into the dangerous side of the natural world. A behavioural ecologist, Adjunct Professor, author, National Geographic Explorer, and member of several IUCN Species Specialist Groups, Ru has spent more than two decades working with wildlife across Asia, Africa, North America, Australia, and beyond.

Venomous, poisonous, electric, aggressive, territorial, or simply misunderstood, this talk brings together extraordinary field stories, near misses, science, myths, and the fascinating ways animals defend themselves, and the people crazy enough to study them.
