| Summary Note |
A reindeer treks a continent under unimaginable weather extremes. One tiny bird flies non-stop for nine days, while another flies from the North to South Pole (and back!) every year. A whale swims through the oceans of a hemisphere. "Animal Migrations: Flying, Walking, Swimming" offers a fascinating insight into the what, where, why and how of these incredible journeys of survival. It explores the migrations of mammals, birds, insects, fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans and aquatic microorganisms. Discover exceptional and unusual journeys, their effect on our world, and how we can help these migrating animals. The remarkable adventures covered in "Animal Migrations" show strength, determination, inbuilt knowledge and the importance of community across global connections. |
