Sea Turtle, magnetic field

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
Dancing turtles show how animals use magnetic field as a map
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 favourite spots,
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.

Dancing turtles prove animals use Earth’s magnetic field as GPS | WATCH
Scientists discover turtles use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, proving animals can learn and remember magnetic signatures.
'Dancing' turtles prove use of magnetic field as a map
The turtles danced with the most enthusiasm in the tank when they knew they would get food. This was "strong evidence" that turtles can learn the magnetic signatures of "specific geographical areas", the researchers said. Even when tested four months later, the turtles still knew where they should dance.
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.
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.
