2、ting closer to one answer. One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass(指南針). Our earth itself is a big magnet(磁體). So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years

3、ago and invented the compass, it allowed sailors to navigate (航海) on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies. Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature. Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands

4、 of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that?A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find th

5、eir way home. Those that can are very good at it, and they have been widely studied.

Further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside, whichproved magnetic. The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earths magnet. The

9、big news was that a living thing, even a simple bacterium, can make magnetite. That led to a search to see whether animals might have it. By using a special instrument called magnetometer, scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds, and even in fish. In each animal, except for the bee,
