Fit for Life
further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside,which proved magnetic.the bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earth’s magnet.
the big news was that a living thing,even a simple bacterium,can make magnetite.that led to a search to see whether animals might have it.. by using a special instrument called magnetometer,scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds,and even in fish.in each animal,except for the bee.the magnetic stuff was always in or closer to the brain.
thus.the idea of a built—in animal compass began to seem reasonable.
