Watch turtles ‘dance’ when a magnetic field signals a meal
Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.
How sea turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a GPS for precise ocean journeys
In a nutshell Scientists discovered sea turtles can learn and remember specific magnetic field signatures of geographic locations, effectively creating their own internal GPS system that helps them navigate back to important feeding grounds.
Sea turtles ‘dance’ in magnetic fields associated with food, new study finds
Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.
Dancing turtles prove animals use Earth’s magnetic field as GPS | WATCH
Scientists discover turtles use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, proving animals can learn and remember magnetic signatures.
Researchers find out how baby sea turtles use magnetic fields to navigate
Researchers found loggerhead turtle hatchlings can be conditioned to recognize magnetic fields, which helps them locate feeding sites.
