Dogs Have A Butt Compass

Ever wondered why your dog spins in a circle before depositing his/her daily double. Scientists at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague have found that, like other animals, dogs are sensitive to Earth's magnetism.

Dogs prefer to do their duty with their bodies aligned along the north-south axis, particularly under calm magnetic field conditions. If the magnetic field is unstable - like when Earth is hit by a solar flare - they get confused.
