Description
We're back to Alaska to learn about the largest skate in the waters off North America with a very clever name (Big Skate). These "Roombas of the ocean" can reach the size of an average (but very flat!) man and also have super-sized mermaid purses that hold multiple embryos. Our guest walks us through the basic differences between skates and rays and then we dive into the specifics of this very cool fish.
