Understanding Migration
Migration is a fascinating phenomenon observed in nature, where animals travel from one location to another, often cyclically and over long distances. This behavior is usually triggered by changes in seasons or habitat conditions.
Some famous examples of migratory animals include:
- Monarch Butterflies: Their journey can span up to 3,000 miles from North America to central Mexico.
- Salmon: Known for returning to their birthplace to spawn, traveling thousands of miles upstream.
- Wildebeest: Known for their epic treks across the African savannah during the Great Migration.
