Stories abound concerning lost cats and dogs traveling across continents to get home.
Birds are the most amazing of all.
One bird, a Manx Shearwater, was transported from Skokholm Island, off the coast of Wales, to Harvard University. There it was tagged and released. Twelve and one-half days later, it was back in its burrow on Skokholm, having traveled 3050 miles at about 244 miles per day. The U.S. Navy once had more than one albatross around its neck. A whole community, flock, covey, gaggle or whatever you call a bunch of albatrossities lived on Midway Island.
