Animal migration is a fascinating phenomenon where animals travel long distances to reach breeding or feeding grounds. Discover the intricacies of this behaviour, including the cues animals use to navigate, the challenges they face along the way, and the benefits and costs of migration. Explore our resources and insights on animal migration and expand your understanding of this fascinating natural wonder.
Examples with my Welsh terrier Rhubarbe. Living in Paris, he and I used to walk in the Champs de Mars by the Eiffel Tower at least twice a week and sometimes more. He knew the way there and back by heart. He walked without a lead and once in the park, which is not closed,…
This site has been created to share information and invite you to contribute in order to see if we can find out how animals and humans navigate without aids. There has been a lot of academic work in this field which is difficult to follow without interpretation. We shall try to put as much of…

People with a sense of direction very seldom get lost even on dark nights even in unfamiliar territory. Not everyone has a sense of direction but those who do rely on…
You may be interested in how the data is collected for tracking animals. Biotrack is a British company that helps and advises on the best systems to use.

Our key point on this is that most “researchers” are allergic to the very idea of Telepathy but this is the very word that describes how dolphins communicate together….
Migratory birds navigate with the help of the Earth’s magnetic field, but how do their compasses work? Peter Hore of Oxford University discusses whether quantum coherence and entanglement could be the answer. Click here for the full article: The Quantum Robin
