Cetaceans may have a extra sense called biomagnetisium. What that does is enables cetaceans to detect variations in the Earth's magnetic field. They may use that magnetic field as a map to navigate.

It is theorized that they are more attuned to the Earth's magnetic fields than we are, and are able to sense where north and south are, like they have an internal compass. Knowing the cardinal directions is essential in long-distance navigation, especially at sea.

Geese know where there going because:

  1. Scientists have found tiny pieces magnetite in geese 's head. That means they use the magnetic field to travel.
  2. Geese use landmarks! Just like we do when we are giving directions, they memorize landmarks.

The migration patterns and habits of whales are still a mystery. There are many theories however that they migrate by instinct, by generational herding and even by sonar or visual cue.
