Why do some species migrate?

Transcript

Some species migrate to find food, better conditions, or suitable climates. For example, European swallows migrate south for warmer weather and more food availability. Additionally, animals may migrate for reproductive reasons, such as Atlantic salmon returning to their birth rivers to spawn. Migratory behavior often involves seasonal movements and return journeys, which distinguishes it from other types of animal movement.
