  29. Why Do Animals Migrate - Migration is nearly universal within the animal kingdom; in fact, even sponge and jellyfish larvae make use of that defining animal trait, mobility, to adapt to imperfect habitats.
  30. Why Migrate? - Migration plays an important part in the lives of animals: it is a successful way of adapting to seasonal change.
