"Just astonishing . . . Our natural navigational capacities are no match for those of the supernavigators in this eye-opening book."-Frans de Waal, The New York Times Book Review
Publisher's note: Supernavigators was published in the UK under the title Incredible Journeys.
Animals plainly know where they''re going, but how they know has remained a stubborn mystery-until now. Supernavigators is a globe-trotting voyage of discovery alongside astounding animals of every stripe: dung beetles that steer by the Milky Way, box jellyfish that can see above the water (with a few of their twenty-four eyes), sea turtles that sense Earth''s magnetic field, and many more. David Barrie consults animal behaviorists and Nobel Prize-winning scientists to catch us up on the cutting edge of animal intelligence-revealing these wonders in a whole new light.
