Until now, how species such as loggerhead sea turtles manage to migrate thousands of miles across oceans with no visual landmarks has been a mystery.

    Neat, I could see this leading to some kind of human technology. Most of the stuff we have was in one way or another inspired by nature.

    Loggerhead sea turtles appear to be able to determine their longitude using two sets of magnetic cues.

    These are called Ley Lines in the earth and have been known about for centuries if not millennia-there is nothing new here.

    I'd like to know how you can associate Ley lines with the Loggerhead turtles' ability to navigate the world's oceans using the strength and angle of the Earth's magnetic field.

    If not that fresh cartoon, most of youth wouldn't know that it exist. Good for the scientists.

    Everything that we need was made, we just have to see it.
