This is a little 'off beat' -- for now, until another article published makes me look like an idiot.. which will definitely happen.
German and Czech researchers have found that cattle and deer point their bodies towards Earth's magnetic poles .... thats it... lol
"German and Czech researchers used Google Earth satellite images to look at 8,510 domestic cattle in 308 pastures located randomly across six continents. They also studied body alignment in 2,974 red and roe deer in the Czech Republic, either by photographing the animals or checking the impressions they left in snow.
The team reports in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA that the animals tended to point north or south but not in other directions. When the researchers were able to examine the position of the head in the case of red and roe deer, they found the animals tended to point north."
So there you have it. Another one of life's agonizing puzzles -- SOLVED!
