For Turtles, Earth's Magnetism Is A Built-In GPS

By RobertMuller on  From earthfourenergy.blogspot.com
Courtesy of Nathan Putman Researchers used hatchling loggerhead turtles, like this one wearing a special harness, to see how the turtles responded to changing magnetic fields as guides for migration. Loggerhead turtles are born with an ability to know where they are on Earth, and which way to swim to get to favorable feeding grounds. That's the conclusion from a new study by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The turtles appear to accomplish this by being...Read Full Story
