Solar storms shake Earth’s magnetic field(磁場(chǎng)). They not only influence human technology, but also animals, reported Forbes.

Studies show that many animals use changes in Earth’s magnetic field to find directions. These changes provide the animals a general compass(指南針) for south and north. Animals can also use them as landmarks.

For example, scientists have found special cells in part of a bird’s eye nervous system(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)). They seem to react to changes in the magnetic field.

Some fish species, like the common trout，have cells with magnetic sensors in their nasal cavity(鼻腔). In 1994 “magnetic sense” was also discovered in sea turtles.

Some whale species may use magnetic sense to navigate (導(dǎo)航) the oceans. A dysfunction of this sense may explain the still mysterious beachings (動(dòng)物擱淺). Sometimes several hundred animals, such as whales and dolphins, are driven out of water along beaches. They usually can’t breathe under their own weight and die slowly.
