Rachel & Shane travel to the Isle of Mull from Oban to record an episode with Mauvis Gore & Rupert Ormond. Seasoned basking shark researchers who we've worked with over the years.

We talk about how they got into marine biology and basking sharks. Talking about the research in the Clyde, working with ex basking shark hunter Howard McRindle.  The famous basking shark who was first tracked across the Atlantic, travelling nearly 10,000km and diving over 1200m in depth. Then onto the Hebrides studies based out of Mull & Coll, photo ID, population estimates, close following and courtship. Then of course their favourite basking shark encounters! Special guest appearance from Captain Smudge the cat, perhaps the only cat in the world to see a cuviers beaked whale!
