Scientists learn how baby sea turtles find their way across thousands of miles of oceans #sciencefather #researchawards


 Hatchling loggerhead sea turtles begin life with a remarkable challenge. They crawl from the beach into the surf and then navigate thousands of miles across open ocean – alone, with no experience, and no adults to guide them.

A new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) reveals how they pull off this navigational feat.

The researchers show that baby sea turtles rely on a tactile magnetic sense – likely driven by tiny magnetite crystals in their bodies – to determine where they are on Earth’s magnetic map.
