Animal Migration
Description
Whether it happens daily, seasonally, or once a year, animal migration remains a spectacular and mysterious event. Why do animals migrate? This program addresses that question as it documents the itinerant habits of a wide range of species. Viewers learn about the various reasons for migration, including finding food, escaping seasonal climate changes, and breeding. The video depicts whales swimming from the Arctic to give birth in warm Mexican waters; bats traveling each spring to specific caves; wildebeests constantly wandering in search of food; and monarch butterflies completing a seasonal migration across several generations.
