The animal world has its share of celebrated navigators, from flocking geese to spawning salmon. ... "We know that lots of animals use the earth's magnetic field as a compass," said Charles Walcott, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and a longtime homing pigeon researcher.

Animal magnetism ... Moreover, Kirschvink notes that even if the main dipole field were to collapse—an event that can last for up to 10,000 years during a reversal—residual fields 5 or 10 percent as strong as the main field would remain on the surface, and animals would be able to use those quite well for migration.

In animals, the use of small magnetic particles (e.g., magnetite) as magnetoreceptors has been suggested. The use of magnetite has been shown in magnetotactic bacteria that are rotated by a magnetic field because of the torque exerted on their magnetite particles.

In fact, migratory birds are suspected to use magnetism, rather than sight, to make their long journeys. Bats and dolphins - even if they employ ultrasounds to find food, echolocation having been proved as not effective over large distances - were found to use Earth's electromagnetism in their long migrations.

Mesmer referred to this mysterious fluid as animal magnetism. ... Zoologists are studying the magnetic field generated and detected by the elephant-nosed fish from Africa at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Other scientists are studying how other animals detect magnetic fields.

The scientists explain that animals which use magnetism to navigate are generally thought to use light exposure, magnetite receptors, or both. ... Why the two animals developed sensitivities to different magnetic information is still a question, however. Parsons speculated that an inclination compass may offer more...
