A children's adaptation of David Barrie's award-winning, best-selling title Supernavigators, this wonderful exploration of nature spotlights over a dozen animals and explores how animals get to places. How do animals find their way, whether it is as simple as a bird leaving its nest to find food, or as complex as a humpback whale following an arrow-straight course while it crosses an entire ocean? How does an Arctic tern travel 56,000 miles a year without getting lost? We know some things about how animals accomplish these remarkable feats of navigation. Monarch butterflies travel from Canada to Mexico by orienting to the sun. It's the light from the Milky Way that steers dung beetles. Then, there are animals like moths and sea turtles that are guided by Earth's magnetic field. In these pages, young readers learn about the amazing navigational capabilities of animals and recent discoveries that allow us to understand much more about these abilities, although fascinating mysteries remain. This Nautilus Award-winning book, created with animal behaviorists and a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, delves into the latest findings on animal intelligence in a whole new way.
