• Random movement without purpose

• Permanent settlement in a new location

Name one reason why animals migrate.

• Food sources or breeding grounds

• Habitat destruction

• Social interactions

• Weather patterns

How do animals know when to migrate?

• Animals use GPS technology to navigate

• Migratory animals communicate through telepathy

• Environmental cues such as temperature, daylight length, and food availability

• They follow the stars in the sky

• Penguins

What are some adaptations that help animals during migration?

• Isolation from other animals

Explain the concept of hibernation in relation to migration.

• Hibernation is a form of migration

• Hibernation and migration are not directly related concepts.

• Instincts guide animals on when and where to migrate, help them navigate, and ensure successful arrival.

How can human activities impact animal migration patterns?
