Animal migration
Animal migration is the relatively① longdistance movement of individual② animals, usually on a seasonal basis. It is the most common form of migration in ecology③. It is found in all major animal groups, including birds, mammals, fish, reptiles④, amphibians⑤, insects, and crustaceans⑥. Different kinds of animal migrate in different ways.
·In birds
Approximately⑦ 1,800 of the world's 10,000 bird species migrate long distances each year in response to⑧ the seasons. Many of these migrations are northsouth, with species feeding and breeding⑨ in high northern latitudes⑩ in the summer, and moving some hundreds of kilometres south for the winter. Some species extend this strategy⑪ to migrate annually⑫ between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres⑬. The Arctic⑭ tern is famous for its migration; it flies from its Arctic breeding grounds to the Antarctic⑮ and back again each year, a distance of at least 19,000 km(12,000 miles), giving it two summers every year.
·In fish
Most fish species are relatively limited in their movements, remaining in a single geographical area and making short migrations for wintering, to spawn⑯, or to feed. A few hundred species migrate long distances, in some cases of thousands of kilometres. About 120 species of fish, including several species of salmon⑰, migrate between saltwater and freshwater.
