These sea turtles ‘dance’ when magnetic fields lead them to a snack
Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long migrations across oceans, they consistently return to the same feeding and nesting sites. Sea turtles can travel these distances by remembering the magnetic signatures of an area and storing that knowledge in a mental map.
Turtle dance shows how animals use magnetic field as map
Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favourite spots, according to scientists.
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 to Orientate With Earth's Magnetic Field, Study Reveals
Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, scientists said Wednesday.
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.
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.
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.
