What Animals Migrate In Autumn

Why animals are driven to migrate As the year turns millions of birds and animals cross oceans and continents but climate change.

What animals migrate in autumn. In North America free-tailed bats migrate in huge numbers to hibernation sites in Texas and Mexico. Other migratory creatures include whales and dolphins bats butterflies and fish. Its worth spending some time looking at tit flocks as these often harbour warblers like Blackcap and Chiffchaff.

But at the same time many bird species such as geese swans and ducks migrate to Britain in autumn overwintering on our shores before leaving once more in spring. The main reason animals migrate is to escape adverse conditions by moving to areas in which conditions are more favourable for their own and their offsprings survival. In autumn it flys south all the way to Antarctica.

Birdwatching inland during the autumn can also produce some good birds with Pied Flycatchers waders and terns moving through. Birds and butterflies also are on the move in autumn. Many see migration as part of a yearly cycle of changes a bird goes through.

Some berries and apples appear on trees during the fall and they are snatched up by humans and animals alike. Because temperatures begin to drop during the fall season these creatures begin to find more suitable conditions. Scientists are still studying this.

Days are getting shorter leaves are turning brown and temperatures are dropping autumns here. Some even cross the channel to reach southern Europe. When hedgehogs are born there can be up to seven babies in a single litter their coat of spines are soft and short.

What do animals do. They fatten themselves up in the spring and summer before entering a very deep sleep in the autumn. The whales have one of the longest migrating cycles among mammals.
