Explanation:

Magnetic Sense

The flow of molten material in the earth's core and the flow of ions in the earth's atmosphere generate a magnetic field that surrounds the planet. Just as compasses point humans toward magnetic north, animals possessing a magnetic sense can orient themselves in specific directions and navigate long distances. Behavioral studies have revealed that animals as diverse as honey bees, sharks, sea turtles, rays, homing pigeons, migratory birds, tuna, and salmon all have magnetic senses. Unfortunately, the details about how these animals actually sense the earth's magnetic field are not yet known. One clue may be small deposits of magnetite in these animals' nervous systems. These magnet-like crystals align themselves with the earth's magnetic fields and may act like microscopic compass needles.
