How Does Animal Migration-Let's Get Moving Work?

Animal migration is when animals move from one place to another, just like you might walk from your home to school every day.

Bold key terms: migration means moving, and animals are creatures like birds, deer, or even fish!

Animals go on a journey because they need something new. Sometimes it’s food, like when a bird flies south for the winter so it can find warmer places with more berries to eat.

They use clues from their environment. Maybe the sun is in a different place, or the stars look different. Some animals even follow the same path every year, just like how you might walk the same way home after school.

When they arrive, they find friends who are also there, maybe cousins from far away! They stay for a while until it's time to go back, and then they make the trip again, just like going on a fun adventure with your best friend.
