Sea turtle, magnetic field and Earth

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.
Sea turtles use Earth's magnetic field like an invisible map
Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.

Scientists are astounded by Earth's magnetic field. It Is Shifting Toward Siberia and Raising Questions About Unusual Movement.
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 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.
