Animal migration refers to the seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, typically in search of food, breeding grounds, or favorable climates. This behavior is usually instinctual and can involve various species including birds, mammals, fish, and insects. Migration is often characterized by long-distance travel and specific patterns that are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature changes and availability of resources. Animals may migrate to ensure their survival and reproductive success, often returning to their original habitats after completing their journey. Various types of migration include seasonal migration, nomadic migration, and regular patterns based on life cycles. This phenomenon is vital for the ecosystems, as it can impact species distribution, population dynamics, and ecosystem health.
