Animal Navigation

Sunday, May 4 th - 1:30 p.m.

Speaker-Doug Sheer

Animal navigation is the ability of many animals to find their way across oceans and

continents without the use of maps or instruments. Birds such as the Arctic

tern, insects such as the monarch butterfly, and fish such as the salmon regularly

migrate thousands of miles and often return to their point of origin with incredible

accuracy.  For many years these long-distance migrations have challenged the scientific

community’s ability to understand how these feats are possible.  Now, thanks to the

use of technology we are better able to understand how animals can navigate these

vast distances.  Join us for the story of animal migration.
