Guided by a magnetic field, sea turtles take up to 24 hours to recalculate their course

Scientists have been studying for years how sea turtles navigate during their migrations, with evidence pointing to an internal system capable of detecting Earth's magnetic field, akin to an internal compass. The article highlights ongoing research into this natural navigation ability, suggesting that turtles may take up to 24 hours to recalibrate their routes using this magnetic guidance. The focus is on scientific inquiry rather than political commentary, emphasizing the biological mechanisms behind turtle navigation.
