There's an unusual fish that tastes with its legs. You heard that right?

It's a very clear behavior. Anyone can appreciate it. It's this weird animal, weird trait, so let's try and figure it out.

It's Friday, September 27th, and yep, it tastes just like Science Friday.

I'm Sci-Fi producer Charles Burgquist.

Coming up, the story of the sea robin, a fish that hunts for prey hidden under ocean sand by tasting through chemical sensors on its six legs.

We'll talk about the fish, the genetic adaptations that allow it to sense its surroundings,

and the value of serendipity and curiosity-driven research in the scientific world.

But first, in a celebration of Climate Week, here's guest host Anna Rothschild with some of the top

climate stories from the Week in Science.

Hurricane Helene slammed into Florida's big band region as a category

four storm one of the most powerful to ever hit this region. It knocked out power

to millions and created what the National Weather

Service called an unservivable storm surge along the coast. The storm caused flooding

across the southeast and multiple deaths.

Storms like these have become more common and more powerful in recent years,

in part due to the effects of climate change.

Here to talk about some of the other biggest climate stories of the week is my guest,

Casey Crownhart, a climate reporter at MIT Technology Review, based in New York.

Welcome back to Science Friday, Casey.

Hey Anna, great to be back.
