Synopsis: |
The mystery of how animals navigate over thousands of miles is something that has baffled scientists since ancient times. Today there are several contending theories, but none have a conclusive answer. In the race to solve this last great mystery of the natural world, the humble homing pigeon is king. We meet scientists who study the pigeon's reliance on sight, smell and even magnetism for navigation. Finally, we test one of the most outlandish theories of all; that pigeons and other animals have a form of telepathic link between themselves and their homes, an idea put forward by Dr Rupert Sheldrake. |
