Lesung mit Till Hein: „Crazy Horse: Die schillernde Welt der Seepferdchen“

In the organizer's words:

Graceful dancers, masters of camouflage and romantic lovers, but also hard of hearing wolverines, moody curmudgeons and slow lazybones: seahorses are all that and more. The little fish are not only found in seagrass meadows and mangrove forests, but also in chess games and Greek legends.

How do they end up on children's bathing suits, coins and toilet bowls from ancient Rome? What makes them first-class hunters despite their sluggishness? Why is an area of the brain named after them?

How can they help us sleep better and even inspire robotics?

Till Hein is a science journalist and author from Berlin who reads and tells entertaining and informative stories from his "mare" seahorse non-fiction book "Crazy Horse". He presents exciting research findings and amusing anecdotes about the only animals in the world where the males get pregnant. He explains curious findings from current research, gets to the bottom of myths and reveals secrets about the bizarre horses of the sea.
