packing for an adventure what s the most important thing you ll need If you don t want to get lost you need a map Or better yet a GPS What about other animals How do they know 第 13 页 共 21 页 where they re going While humans depend on technology to travel some animals have something far more advanced Researchers mainly from Oregon State University US found that Chinook salmon have a built in GPS of the Earth s magnetic field 磁场 This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean It acts like a big map inside their brain Scientists placed some baby salmon into a big swimming pool To simulate the Earth s magnetic field they put magnetic coils 线圈 all around the pool Then by changing the direction of the coils the salmon began to change their own direction They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side the salmon also turned in the opposite direction Just by using their built in GPS the salmon were able to figure out the direction of their feeding area How did Chinook salmon get their built in GPS The
