Epic animal journeys / by Brown, Ed J.,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)869034; Hanaor, Ziggy,author.(CARDINAL)787007;
One of the great mysteries of the world is that all the branches of the animal kingdom -- birds, fish, crustaceans, reptiles, mammals, insects, and even slime molds -- undertake great journeys across water, land, or air. With no compass or GPS devices, birds fly thousands of miles from Europe to their African feeding grounds, salmon cross oceans so that they may return to the rivers in which they were born and monarch butterflies spend their entire adult lives traveling from the grasslands of the Midwest to the forests of Mexico.Primary.

Supernavigators : exploring the wonders of how animals find their way / by Barrie, David,1953-author.(CARDINAL)764857; Gower, Neil,illustrator.(CARDINAL)602938;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Navigating without maps -- The Holy Grail -- Why does navigation matter?"A globetrotting voyage of discovery celebrating the navigational superpowers of animals -- by land, sea, and sky. Animals plainly know where they're going, but how they get there has remained surprisingly mysterious -- until now. In Supernavigators, award-winning author David Barrie catches us up on the cutting-edge science. Here are astounding animals of every stripe: Dung beetles that steer by the light of the Milky Way. Ants and bees that rely on patterns of light invisible to humans. Sea turtles and moths that find their way using Earth's magnetic field. Humpback whales that swim thousands of miles while holding a rocksteady course. Birds that can locate their nests on a tiny island after crisscrossing an ocean. The age of viewing animals as unthinking drones is over. As Supernavigators makes clear, a stunning array of species command senses and skills -- and arguably, types of intelligence -- beyond our own. Weaving together interviews with leading animal behaviorists and the groundbreaking discoveries of Nobel Prizewinning scientists, David Barrie reveals these wonders in a whole new light." --

Supernavigators : how animals find their way / by Barrie, David,1953-author.(CARDINAL)764857; Stefoff, Rebecca,1951-author.(CARDINAL)284711; Lan, Qu,illustrator.(CARDINAL)885798;
This book explores the incredible navigational abilities of animals, like how birds find food, how humpback whales navigate across oceans, and how Arctic terns travel vast distances without getting lost. It reveals how some animals, like monarch butterflies and dung beetles, use the sun and the Milky Way for orientation, while others, like moths and sea turtles, rely on Earth's magnetic field. Based on the latest research and expert insights, this adaptation introduces young readers to the fascinating science behind animal navigation and the mysteries still to be uncovered.
