A study led by Daniel Shaykevich at Stanford University examined the homing abilities of cane toads, a species introduced to Hawaii and Australia. The research involved disorienting 62 cane toads on O'ahu by transporting them along winding routes for 30-60 minutes, then releasing them far from their original locations. Remarkably, the toads demonstrated their capability to find their way back home, indicating that their navigation skills rely on more than just smell or magnetic-sensitive mechanisms, revealing adaptability in their biological navigation systems.
The research conducted by Daniel Shaykevich and his team reveals that cane toads possess an astonishing ability to navigate home, even when their traditional sensory inputs are diminished.
Despite their compromised sense of smell and magnetic-sensory systems, the toads successfully located their way back home across challenging distances, underscoring their inherent navigational skills.
