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." --

Line up! : animals in remarkable rows / by Stockdale, Susan,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)317529;
"Much like humans, many animals line up for a variety of reasons. Rather than forming lines for the school bus or recess, the animals featured in Susan Stockdale's book form lines for safety: baby Mallard ducklings follow their mother to the water for their first swim ; warmth: turtles climb into a stacked line for a better share of the sun's rays ; navigation: Arctic wolves follow the prints in the snow left by the pack leader ; food: ants line up to follow the scent of their leader to food and safety ; travel: pink flamingos form a line to reduce wind resistance and fly more efficiently. Featuring birds, crustaceans, fish, insects, mammals, and reptiles from around the world, Line Up is a cozy and comforting book that reminds us of our similarities while illuminating some specific, distinctive behaviors." -- Amazon.com.Ages 2-5Grades K-1
