danger their own lives in embarking on a most difficult journey to lay
their eggs. God, the Lord of the Worlds, inspires in salmon the direc-
tion they will take, as He does with all other living things. It is
Almighty God Who creates the direction-finding systems in salmon

and guides them to travel along rivers and arrive at their destina-
tions.
In one verse God reveals that all living things are under His super-
vision:
… There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My
Lord is on a Straight Path.' (Surah Hud: 56)
Salmon use the special systems God created for them and, like all
other living things, act in the manner inspired in them by Him. These
are all proofs that reveal the splendor in God's creation. The life of the
salmon is one of the beauties in God's art of creation. Details like these

in the variety of living things on Earth must cause human beings to
think and to turn to God.

MOTHS' AREA OF EXPERTISE: ULTRASONIC WAVES

For any animal to survive, its most urgent need is to identify pred-
ators and prey. Some species of moth have a major advantage in this
regard, since they can hear the high-frequency sounds emitted by
bats as they hunt.
A number of scientists and students at Tufts University examined
the central nervous system of nocturnal moths. Their aim was to deci-
pher the code system of the perceptions linking the central nervous
system to the moth's ear and to determine how the moths managed to
escape the bats, their greatest enemy. 24
