ungulate migration

Ungulate migration refers to the seasonal movement of hoofed mammals, such as deer, elk, and wildebeest, between different habitats to access food, water, and suitable breeding grounds. These migrations are typically driven by environmental cues like climate and vegetation cycles. Animals travel long distances in herds, often following traditional routes called migratory corridors. This movement helps them survive harsh conditions, maintain healthy populations, and reduce competition. Migration also plays a key role in shaping ecosystems, as it affects plant growth and other animal populations along their routes.
