🐋 Fun Facts About Whale Migration
While your child colors, here's a great moment for a little story: many whale species make one of the longest migrations in the entire animal kingdom every year — some gray whales travel more than 10,000 kilometers between their feeding grounds in cold polar waters and their warmer breeding grounds. Whole family groups often travel together, with experienced older whales knowing the route and guiding the younger ones along the way. Scientists believe whales navigate this enormous journey partly by sensing Earth's magnetic field and by recognizing familiar coastlines. Anyone who wants to learn more about these impressive journeys can explore the whale profile on Wikipedia together.
