Circling Behaviour in many species

Post by SwordfishMining »

In a paper published in the journal iScience, a team of marine biologists from Japan, the United States and France reports the discovery of circling behavior where various marine animals — including the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), the king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), the Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella), and the Cuvier’s beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris) — move in a circular manner at relatively constant speed.
