Natural Cycles: Migration

The video discusses various migratory animals, including monarch butterflies, red knots, geese, elephant seals, and horseshoe crabs. It explains their migration patterns, such as traveling between breeding grounds and winter habitats. Red knots migrate from Central and South America to the Arctic, while geese move from warm areas to breeding grounds. Elephant seals migrate from the ocean to California coasts for breeding. Horseshoe crabs migrate to lay eggs, which serve as food for migrating birds. These examples illustrate the diverse migration habits of animals.
