Animals go on big trips to find food or better places to live. Some use the sun, stars, or even smells to know where they're going. Like a bird flying thousands of miles from one continent to another, it's like having a map in its head!
Examples
- A bird flies from the North to the South every year because it knows where the warm places are. It follows the stars like a map in the sky.
- A turtle swims across an ocean to find a place where it can lay its eggs. It uses the Earth’s magnetic field as a guide.
- A wildebeest runs for miles through the savanna to reach fresh grass. It follows other animals and remembers the way back from last year.
