{wiki=Sun_compass_in_animals}
A sun compass is a navigational tool used by certain animals to orient themselves and find their way during migration or foraging. Animals that use a sun compass can detect the position of the sun in the sky and use it to determine their direction, much like humans can use a traditional compass for navigation.
