Slide2

What is migration?

Migration - the regular movement of birds and other creatures from one part of the world to another and

back

Migration is usually seasonal

Mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, crustaceans and birds migrate

Migration

is a form of adaptation

. Animals

migrate to

survive

The trigger for the migration may be

local climate

or season change

local

availability of food,

for

mating reasons

Learning

about migration is one of the best ways to understand the risks that birds and other animals must take in their daily lives

Slide3

World distances

Write down the distances as they appear on the map

Cape Town to Cairo

4,500 miles 7,200 km

Cairo to Ulaanbaatar

4,000 miles 6,500 km

London

Edinburgh

350 miles 550 km

Madrid to Paris

660

miles

1000

Slide4

The Humpback Whale

The humpback whale can travel 16,000 miles a yearThat is the greatest migration than any other mammal on Earth

Each species

humpback whale travels to warmer tropical waters during the winter months to mate and give birth

Then they swim to the rich colder waters of the Arctic or Antarctic to feed for the summer

Slide5

Migratory animals

The leatherback turtles travel across the Pacific Ocean between Indonesia and the U.S.An incredible distance of more than 12,000 miles in 647 daysFemales mate very 2 or 3 yearsOne of their most impressive feats is the ability to navigate back the beach where they were born to spawn

Slide6

Africa’s Wildebeest

Africa's wildebeest herds travel annually by the millions in search of greener pasturesMore than 1.5 million wildebeest migrate in an enormous loop every yearThe wildebeest do not travel alone. As many as 200,000 zebra and 500,000 gazelles also make the journeyFollowed by some of the Africa’s top predators.

Slide7

Birds

About 1,800 of the world's bird species are migratory. The tiny Arctic tern undertakes nature's longest migration, flying 43,000 miles annually between the Arctic and Antarctic. Starting in August and September, the Arctic tern will head away from Greenland with the intention of getting to the Weddell Sea, on the shores of Antarctica.It will spend about four or five months in the deep south before heading back to the far north, arriving home in May or June

Slide8

Satellite Telemetry

Biologists and researchers use

Satellite Telemetry to track migrationAn object on earth can be tracked using satellites in spaceThere are roughly 2,250 satellites orbiting the Earth

Sent to falcon research team

Slide9

Satellite Telemetry – how does it work?

Researchers attach

a Platform Terminal Transmitter (PTT) to the back of the Falcon

The PTT sends

digital codes to

an orbiting satellite

The satellite re-transmits the data to a receiving station on earth

Data is sent to the

researchers who can access the information through their computer.

The researchers can create an online maps showing where the Falcon has been
