Now that the Holiday season is in full swing many of us have a lot of traveling to do. Did you know that many animals also do a lot of traveling as well? Unlike us, these animals are not going on vacation or visiting family they are on migration. Migration is when an animal travels from one area to another based on the time of year, temperature, or food availability. One of the animals that migrates you might even begin to see in lights throughout your neighborhood. Reindeer actually have one of the greatest large mammal migrations traveling as far as 600 miles! That’s like walking from Charleston to Washington D.C.!
