I'll bet you a Turtle or 2 have stopped here over the years to take in the view I wonder why they come here ,hmmmmmmmm ? WHETHER migratory animals can determine their global position by detecting features of the Earth's magnetic field has long been debated. To do this an animal must perceive (at least) two distinct magnetic parameters, each of which must vary in a different direction across the Earth's surface. There has been no evidence that any animal can perceive two such magnetic features, and whether 'magnetic maps' exist at all has remained controversial. Several populations of sea turtles undergo transoceanic migrations before returning to nest on or near the same beaches where they themselves hatched. Along the migratory routes, all or most locations have unique combinations of magnetic field intensity and field line inclination. It has been demonstrated that hatching loggerhead turtles can distinguish between different magnetic inclination angles. Turtles can also distinguish between different field intensities found along their migratory route. Thus sea turtles possess the minimal sensory abilities necessary to approximate global position using a bi coordinate magnetic map. Got that ,sounds like they were the 1st geocachers .So anyway here's another cammoed cache for you ,happy hunting . Have fun and don't forget to log your DNF's , lets others who follow, know that it may be a looker , lol
If you liked this cache don't forget to make it a FAVORITE.
