Sea Turtle, Navigation and Dancing Baby

Dancing Baby Sea Turtles Help Researchers Unravel the Mysteries of Their Navigational Superpowers
These aquatic reptiles swim thousands of miles across the open ocean to return to the same foraging grounds and nesting sites. They don’t always take the shortest, most direct route, but they do eventually get to where they’re going.
Sea turtles shown to use magnetic ‘map’ to navigate ocean
Sea turtles are incredible cute creatures that also know their way around a map, at least a magnetic “map” in the oceans they traverse through their lives. That’s according to new research published in Nature magazine,
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.
