Witness the perils of the terrain they cross, the ocean depths they plumb and the skies they traverse, and find out how they navigate huge distances with pinpoint accuracy. Discover how migrating creatures survive the hardships of the journey, escape predators and achieve their goal, despite unforseen dangers and near-starvation.
