Description

We know birds can travel large distances day or night, rain or shine, even if they’ve never migrated before. If you confuse a spiny lobster and drop it far from home, it can still find its way back. How do they do that? In this episode, Tai discovers the mysterious and mind-boggling ways animals navigate.

In this episode Tai talks to:
- David Barrie, researcher and author of Supernavigators: Exploring the Wonders of How Animals Find Their Way
- Ken Lohmann, biology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- Samantha Patrick, senior lecturer in marine biology at the University of Liverpool
