The golden hamster carries food back to its nest along a direct path. In a situation combining a passive outward journey with the elimination of visual and various other exteroceptive cues, the subjects continued to return to their nest site and were not influenced by alterations of the earth''s magnetic field. Experiments in which the animals started their hoarding trips from a changing point of departure, or were transferred to an unfamiliar experimental space, suggest that they orientate by path integration and that they assess the angular, but not the linear component of a passive outward journey.
