Earth’s magnetic field causes sea turtles to dance

CHARLOTTE, N.C.– We now know that Earth’s magnetic field is triggering a superpower in sea turtles. Loggerhead sea turtles have the ability to find nesting and feeding areas without landmarks. A new study has shows Loggerheads actually memorize magnetic fields to help them find foods after migrating. Researchers said that captive juvenile Loggerheads will “dance” in a particular movement pattern in response to magnetic cues. The process reminds them where they previously partook in meals.
