I often wondered when watching those albatross birds wheeling back and forth following the ship as we chugged across the Pacific (and demonstrating flying abilities far beyond anything we've come up with,) was it a co-incidence the ship was going where they wanted to go ? ... or were they just hitching a lift so to speak with no particular destination in mind.
Someone told me the albatross will spend months in the air, then return to the island where they were born to breed. If that's true, and given the size of the Pacific Ocean, that's pretty impressive navigation.
