7 animals migrate the longest in nature
Some animals have the ability to move across the ocean, despite all the dangers to go to breeding grounds or food sources.
According to Tech Insider, globeskimmer dragonflies are insects the size of only the youngest finger, but they can fly above 7,000 km.Dragonflies globeskimmer occasionally stop on the islands to breed.Their descendants migrated into flocks, flying from island to island in the Pacific Ocean.( Photo: Greg Lasley).
Blue whales, mammals weigh about 200 tons, can swim around the world's oceans, covering 71% of the Earth's surface area.Blue whales live in warm tropical waters in the winter, then swim to the Arctic waters with many krill to feed in the summer.This distance is thousands of kilometers long each year.( Photo: National Geographic).
Tortoises move from Africa to South America thanks to incredible stamina.They move freely with the head sticking out of the water without food or fresh water for 6 months.(Photo: Wikimedia).
The chicks, which have poor flight capabilities, migrate to South America from Africa thanks to floating rafts floating in the Atlantic tens of millions of years ago.Currently, hoof chickens are living in the Amazon rainforest.(Photo: Kate).
Most transatlantic movements occurred about 30 million years ago.The continent of South America drifting not far from Africa made the Atlantic Ocean significantly narrower than today.The method of floating raft floating in the ocean is also a way for many primates such as black squirrel monkeys to reach South America.(Photo: BBC).
After a storm in 1995, fishermen on Antigua Island in the Caribbean Sea found blue iguanas (native species in South America) drifting to the coast, on a raft made of logs and stumps.(Photo: Charlesjsharp).
