Animals live all over the Earth, from the coldest icy places to the hot deserts of Australia. To survive, many animals like to live in groups. Being in a group helps them stay warm, find food, stay safe, and take care of their babies.
Sometimes, animals move from one place to another in big groups. This is called migration. One of the most amazing migrations is the great wildebeest migration. During this event, more than 2 million animals, including wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, travel together. They move in a big circle, following the green grass from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the grasslands in Kenya. In just one year, they travel over 800 kilometers!
As they travel, these animals pass through areas where hungry predators like cheetahs and lions live. They also have to cross rivers that might have crocodiles. Not all animals make it, but by staying in large groups, they have a better chance of surviving.
Living in groups helps animals in many ways. For example, penguins huddle together to keep warm in icy places. Fish swim in schools to confuse predators. Elephants travel in herds to protect their young. Can you think of other animals that live in groups and how it helps them?
Learning about animal migration and group living is fascinating. It shows us how animals work together to survive in the wild. Keep exploring and discovering more about the amazing world of animals!

[Music] Animals can be found in all areas of the Earth, from icy regions to the dry deserts of Australia. To survive in their environments, many animals form groups. Living in groups can help animals keep warm, find and share food, stay safe, and assist in raising their young.
Often, animals move from place to place in large groups, a phenomenon known as migration. One of the largest movements of animals in groups is the great wildebeest migration. During this spectacular event, more than 2 million wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other animals migrate in a circular pattern, following the green pastures from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the open grasslands in Kenya. In one year, the animals move more than 800 kilometers during the migration.
The animals pass through the habitats of many hungry predators, including cheetahs and lions, and they also cross rivers that may be infested with crocodiles on their way to greener grasses. Not all the animals survive, but moving in such large groups increases the chances of survival for individual animals.
What are some other examples of animals living in groups? How does it help them survive?
