8:30 Window on The World
Many animals undertake remarkable migratory journeys; travelling thousands of miles only to return to same burrow or beach they departed from. Yet, unlike humans, they don't have digital or paper maps to guide their way, so how are they able to orientate themselves with such accuracy? In the second part of this migration story, CrowdScience explores how animals are able to navigate using the sun, stars, smells, landmarks and magnetism to help guide them.
