can use the energy of the birds in front of them. These energy es from the air currents, generated by the wings. Conserving energy is necessary for the birds to survive in long journey. Who did the birds know this? It’s truly amazing how the birds know this. Another amazing example of survive animal is the Salmon. Salmon spent most of their lives in the ocean which is salty water. Yet, when it’s time to breed, they do so in fresh water rivers. Salmon can adapt their bodies to survive in both saltwater and freshwater. When it’s breeding time, they returned to the same water where they were born. It seems as if they had builtin map that guides them for a hundred of miles. Once they left the salt water, they don’t eat. They are determined to finish their journey despite of many obstacles. They swam against the strong currents, jump over the waterfalls and try to escape the claws of hungry bears. Many die along the way but enough of them survive to breed and reproduce the next generation. Once they had lay their eggs, they die, having pleted their journey. It seems that their purpose in life is just to reproduce. Migration takes the animals to new, more favorable environments when seasons change. Some of these journeys are long and dangerous along around not obvious landmarks. The longest migration is that of a tern. It flies from polar to polar, twice a year. If a tern achieves its average lifespan of 20 years, the distance it has flown will be equivalent to a journey to the moon and back. Humans also migrate but seldom if ever for seasonal variations. fortunately, human migrations are often due to human activities. Since the beginning of the 21st century, large scale migrations had bee a global problem. Millions of migrates had had to leave their countries and look for new homes. Many have died along the way or left these refugees in camps until they are admitted into a new country. So the question remains as to how our global munities will face these challenges.
