About This Lesson
It turns out that one of nature’s most fool-proof navigators is none other than the Caribbean spiny lobster. Various attempts to disorient lobsters—which involve goofy things such as taking them away from their homes while they’re wearing eye coverings—never succeed. But when spiny lobsters are placed in special boxes that generate a magnetic field similar to one found north of the lobsters’ home, the lobster tries to go south. When the magnetic field generated is the same as one south of the lobsters’ home, it tries to go north.
