But I found that sea turtles use inclination angle and intensity to follow certain routes in the ocean‚ they call these routes gyres. The gyre is known to be warm and have lots of food‚ but where the gyre is cold there is less food and turtles that follow these routes tend to die. Also a lot of these creatures tend to have a substance in
