Migration is a behavior that occurs in nature, it is something instinctive in the species that perform
it. the main goal of migration is survival.

OKAY. there are reasons why animals migrate, for example. the temperature change. In the
different seasons of the year there is a change in temperature, this is the reason why the species
migrate due to these changes in temperature that become very low during the winter and, on the
contrary, very high during the summer, for what species move to survive in other areas during
these extreme periods.
Reproduction and the search for food: This mainly refers to the fact that at certain times of the
year there is not enough food for the animals and they must go to another place where they can
get food to feed themselves. In addition, many species migrate to places where there is enough
food to feed. their young so they can survive and stay away from predators
Another reason why animals migrate is because in some places there are often an excess of
predators and they feel threatened and look for new places where they can protect themselves.
- WHAT ARE SOME TYPES OF MIGRATION?

There are types of migration such as: migration through the air, this is for all types of birds that
can fly and use this medium to migrate.
Another type of migration occurs through the water, this happens with all the animals of the seas
and rivers that swim many kilometers to migrate.
Another one is the migration through the earth that happens with all the terrestrial animals that
live: in the jungle, in the forest, in the desert, in the prairie or in the mountains.
Additionally, we have other types of migration such as: seasonal migration, which refers to all the
animals that migrate in the seasons of the year like: summer, winter, autumn, and spring.
Latitudinal migration: This refers to the migration of animals going from north to south or from
south to north.
Altitudinal migration: these are Animals that migrate at altitude. that is to say when the animals
come down from the mountains to the valleys.
Reproductive migration: Those animals migrate to places where the young are more likely to
survive.
Definitive migration: when these animals migrate they do not return to their place of origin. This
happens when the habitat is degraded and fails to recover and in recent years this has been
happening constantly and many species are losing their habitat and some species have even
become extinct.
- HOW DO ANIMALS KNOW WHEN TO MIGRATE?

Animals start migrating when they can't find enough food for everyone and must find new places
with enough food. Another aspect that influences is when the animals feel that there is a change in
temperature and they decide that it is time to go to another place with a suitable climate.
- HOW DO ANIMALS KNOW WHERE TO GO?

Some animals are guided by the stars, the direction of the wind, it is a genetically programmed
ability. while others use their nose to go to the right place.
I would just emphasize that some research has shown that: some animals can sense the strength
and direction of the earth's magnetic field and then use this ability to navigate along their
migratory route.
Other animals use land features, such as mountain ranges, rivers, and the ocean
Description of the caribou (reindeer)
- In Europe and Asia it is called reindeer, but in America it is called caribou or American reindeer.
- The size varies, for example, in males they range between 1.8 to 2.14 m in length and 159 to 182
kg and have an average height between 120 to 150 cm only at their shoulders without counting
their horns, which usually measure up to 1 meter….And Females measure 1.62 to 2.05 m in length,
with a weight of 120 to 180 kg.
- Reindeer inhabit relatively cold places, living in tundra and taiga areas of North America,
Europe and Siberia. In North America, it can be found in Alaska, Canada. In Europe, it is located
along Norway, Finland and Russia. (In the images we can see the place where these animals live)
. Previously it could be found in Germany, Great Britain, Poland and the state of Maine but hunting and
habitat destruction have reduced populations.
- Females are more long-lived, living up to 15 years, and males live about 10 years. In captivity
some usually live up to 20 years.
- These animals are known to travel great distances, reaching up to 5000 kilometers a year during
spring and autumn.

Description
All it starts when the temperature begins to rise in summer and there is not enough food they
migrate to the tundras that are further north. They spend the end of the summer feeding in
tundra areas, where they find abundant food until it starts to snow. In winter they complete
their migration by returning to the south, where the climate is milder and they can feed.
That is to say that they are always kept in cold climates but avoiding the snowy seasons when
food is scarcer.
The spring caribou migration across Alaska is considered one of the most impressive wildlife
phenomena in this part of the world. About 200,000 animals move north each year; this migration
begins in March and lasts until the end of June.
If you are lucky you will be able to see these beautiful animals, you will be able to admire their
parade and be amazed as it is, there are few who manage to see this type of migration since
sometimes they usually change their route to avoid people.
