几个世纪以来，动物在没有机械或电子导航辅助设备的情况下认路的能力一直令人类着迷。依靠先天的知识，再加上从宇宙的自然特征中提取导航数据，动物不断地用它们的运动技能迷惑人类。磁罗盘、太阳指南针、条形图、快照。众所周知，目标地图、温度图和星图都是整体动物导航工具包中的特色。每个物种都会为自己的环境选择最合适的“地图/图表”和导航工具。
The ability of animals to find their way, without the benefit of mechanical or electronic aids to navigation, has fascinated humans for centuries. Relying on innate knowledge, coupled with the extraction of navigational data from the natural features of the universe, animals continually confound humans with their skills in locomotion. The magnetic compass, sun compass, strip maps, snapshots. target maps, temperature charts and star charts are known to feature in the overall animal navigation kit. Each species selects the most appropriate 'map/chart' and navigation kit for its environment.
