From Scientific American: Researchers have found that when grazing or resting, cattle and deer tend to point their bodies toward Earth’s magnetic poles, which suggests they are able to sense magnetic fields… researchers studied body alignment in 2,974 red and roe deer in the Czech Republic, either by photographing the animals or checking the impressions they left in snow.
