Vernal migrations feature everything from fish and birds to
big, shaggy mammals and tiny insects. These journeys are
about as diverse as the species themselves, but they have
one thing in common—they are difficult.
But a lot of animals die trying to complete
migrations. Every year it's a selective weeding out
that helps to keep the population strong, one
where only the strongest survive.
Witnessing these migrations in person may be a
once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here are six incredible
animal migrations you don't want to miss.

here's something primeval and awe-inspiring about witnessing
nature on the move, and over the eons, animals have developed
unique migratory routes that allow us to be spectators.
These sojourns are taxing and energetically expensive treks
that allows these animals and insects to exploit different
resources that they would not have been able to find if
they'd stayed put.
