DID YOU KNOW? In a 9,942-mile round trip, grey whales make the farthest of all mammal migrations
The animal kingdom is always on the move. Conditions in the wild can be unpredictable, with environmental disasters and ever-changing ecosystems causing species to flee their habitats. However, some moves occur on schedule, and many species have adapted to take advantage of whichever part of the planet suits them best at certain times of year. Animal migrations include any regular or seasonal movement of animals that also incorporates a return journey, forming a cyclic pattern. The animals proceed from one habitat to another to find better food availability, a more comfortable living climate or suitable locations to reproduce.
