Title: The Lost World
Author(s): Michael Crichton
Release year: 1995
Publisher: Knopf
Why in Database: In this book, as in predecessor, turtles appear only as a mention, this time just one. One of the protagonists tells the protagonist that different animals have different (from the human point of view) senses and evokes, among others, turtles’ magnetic sense:
There are other sensory modalities. Snakes sense infrared. Bats have echolocation. Birds and turtles have magnetosensors—they can detect the earth’s magnetic field, which is how they migrate. Dinosaurs may have other sensory modalities that we can’t imagine.
