Welcome to Exploring the Bio-edge!

In this episode, Robin chats with Dr Milewski about the mystery that is the Sable antelope's colouring. These gorgeous beasts, ranging from a rich chestnut to jet-black in colour with striking white facial markings, present some intriguing puzzles: why have they developed this particular colouring and why have the females so closely emulated some features of the males?
