Dr Robyn Grant will be hosting our next webinar posing the question “Why do mammals have whiskers?”, a talk all about animal whiskers – from the mouse’s moustache to the walrus’s whiskers. She will cover what whiskers are and what they are for, and also let you know which species have the best and most specialised whiskers. The talk will finish with a question and answer session by those attending the webinar, so if you have any questions relating to whiskers and mammalian sensing get them ready to be answered! Robyn is a Senior Lecturer in Comparative Physiology and Behaviour at Manchester Metropolitan University. She is a sensory biologist, studying the sense of touch in mammals and birds. She works closely with museums and zoos to better understand the form and function of facial sensors.
