If you dont want to get lost, youll need a map! Or better yet, a GPS. What about other animals, how do they

31、know where theyre going? While humans depend on technology to travel, some animals have something far more advanced.

33、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.

34、ilt-in GPS”, the salmon were able to figure out the direction of their feeding area. How did Chinook salmon get their “built-in GPS”?
