For reading today we had to research and create a poster about an animal and their migration patterns.
During my research I learnt that brown bears do not actually migrate to the same area at the same time of the year. Instead they migrate to areas that are nearby where there is an abundance of food. Did you know that brown bears have to eat lots of food because they hibernate over the winter months? I also learnt that brown bears can give birth to up to 4 cubs, but that pairs (or twins in human terms) are most likely.
I found it interesting that bears do not migrate to the same areas at the same time of the year. Animals such as whales, do. Once I had learnt this I found it quite believable as I know bears are solitary animals (they like to live alone), so why would they want to migrate to the same place like other animals?
When I have more time, I'd like to learn more about how and why brown bears hibernate over the winter months!
What animals do you know about that migrate? Can you tell me about their migration patterns?
