Sea turtles have long mystified researchers by returning to beaches where they were hatched, magnetic signals may be the key, new research 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.
The project was the brainchild of SEA LIFE's curator Joe Williams. He told Sky News: "Turtles shouldn't be turning up here in the UK. Climate change is a massive driver in this. "Climate change ...
Even sea turtle scientists don't yet fully understand how the turtles use the sense of direction and navigation that helps them survive and return to nest on a beach near where they hatched.
