Loggerhead sea turtle, magnetic field

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.
Sea turtles' secret GPS: How loggerheads learn locations using Earth's magnetic field
A new study from researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides the first empirical evidence that loggerhead sea turtles can learn and remember the unique magnetic signatures of different geographic regions.
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.
Dancing turtles show how animals use magnetic field as a map
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.
‘Dancing’ turtles can detect magnetic fields
When exposed to a magnetic field they were trained to associate with food, turtles responded with “dancing” behavior.
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.
