Sharks have been hypothesized for years to navigate in water with magnetic fields, but a recent study has shown that electromagnetic fields have connected with these marine animals. In the latest issue of the journal Current Biology published on May 6, the study reveals that sharks can read the Earth's field like a map and use it to navigate through their long sea journeys. Dr. Bryan Keller, a lead project officer at Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory and Project Manager for Save Our Seas Foundation, told Forbes that sharks are trained to react to unique geomagnetic signatures, thus detecting and reacting to variations in magnetic fields. Despite the speculation that hedges, such as other birds, sea turtles, long-distance swimming lobsters exhibit a mysterious ...
