Sea turtles ‘dance’ when their superpower leads them to food
Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.
Scientists investigated a mystery of the sea. They found dancing turtles.
Sea turtles have long mystified researchers by returning to beaches where they were hatched, magnetic signals may be the key, new research finds.
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.
Scientists solve turtle mystery
Using satellite trackers, scientists have discovered the whereabouts of young sea turtles during a key part of their lives.
Where young sea turtles spend their early lives has always been a mystery - until now
Young sea turtles actively swim and choose their paths instead of drifting. New satellite tracking reveals their movements.
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.
The Surprising Importance of This Adorable Sea Turtle Dance
Sea turtles are capable of creating GPS-like magnetic maps to guide them back to foraging grounds, and they do a little dance when they recognize those spots
