Migratory Behavior

Migratory behavior is the seasonal movement patterns of animals, where they travel between different areas to find suitable food, breeding sites, or better climate conditions. Many species undertake long-distance journeys, often covering hundreds or thousands of miles, to take advantage of favorable environments and avoid harsh weather or scarcity of resources. These migrations are usually triggered by environmental cues like temperature, daylight, or food availability, and are essential for their survival and reproduction. Examples include birds flying south for winter or whales migrating between feeding and breeding grounds.
