For more than a hundred years people have been intrigued by how animals are able to do certain navigating tasks so well. Being able to sense magnetic fields has been one of several clues animals could use to figure out where they should go. Among possible magnetic sensory mechanisms have been: light sensitive proteins (cryptochromes) in the retina that can also react to magnetic fields. Microscopic magnetite crystals on found in various areas of the body (often the nose near nerves) A new...
