A great privilege of my career is observing the Shark Bay dolphins. A firm favourite is Starlet - a 22 year old adult male whose father, Realnotch, dominated the alliance landscape. Starlet has inherited his father’s prowess and, with his allies, ranges widely to secure females and take on rivals.

Hello Shark Bay 🫶
Excited to share that we have just been awarded a NERC Pushing the Frontiers grant to work on between-group cooperation in the Shark Bay dolphins. We will soon advertise a 3 year post-doc to join the team - drop me an email if you might be interested! Pls share widely 🙏🏻
