Ever wonder how birds, eels, whales, or even bugs find their way without a GPS? In this episode of Wildly Curious, Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole uncover the jaw-dropping science behind animal navigation.
From locusts using sky maps and magnetic fields, to eels migrating thousands of miles to a secret oceanic birthplace no one’s ever seen (seriously), and birds that may be using quantum mechanics to see the Earth’s magnetic field—it’s a global tour of natural way-finding.
🌎 How do animals "see" magnetic fields?
🧭 What is magnetoreception and how does it work?
🌌 Can birds actually use quantum mechanics to navigate?
🐟 Why do we still not know how eels reproduce?
This episode explores what researchers are learning—and why the military, ocean shippers, and conservationists are all paying attention.
🎧 Perfect for curious minds, nature nerds, and anyone who's ever questioned how animals seem to have better internal GPS than humans with smartphones.
