Animal Migration

Introduction

Introduction

Migration is the yearly, seasonal journey undertaken by many species of birds.

During this journey, birds cover distances of many kilometres. The most common types of migration are those carried out by birds in

the spring and the autumn. In the autumn, they travel from breeding grounds in the north to

wintering grounds in the south, and vice versa in the spring.

Now, a question

Why do animals migrate?

There are many reasons but most common are food availability, breeding, and climate suitability.

Animals migrate because they need food and they need to get away from predators, animals also migrate for warmer climates.

In addition, animals migrate because they want to give birth, lay eggs or raise their young ones, for example, the grey whale.

Human Migration

Human migration is permanent relocation across significant distances.There are 2 types of migration:

i. International migration- Movement to other countries. ii. Internal migration- migration that occurs inside a country.

The population of a country is influenced by migration. Emigration (migrating out) and Immigration (migrating in) also contribute to the population.
