First we have the monarch butterflies. These incredible
creatures spend their summer days in the northern parts and then
migrate (leaving for another place) to the south for the winter.
They travel thousands of miles - some almost 2900 km from Canada
to Mexico. Just looking at a map, you can see how far Canada is
from Mexico, but these little butterflies fly all the way to
protect themselves from the cold winters. Traveling so much
certainly does tire them out, which is why some of them cannot
make a return trip. These butterflies have never been to these
foreign places, but they still make the trip successfully. How
do they do it? A map showing the monarch butterfly migration.
They travel from Canada to Mexico. Then there are the Green sea
turtles (or the scientific term is chelonia mydas) who swim for
months and months in the east direction to migrate from a sea in
Brazil in South America to an island called Ascension Island,
which is about 3200 km away. Apparently these turtles were
hatched on this island,
