migratory routes
Animal travel corridors
Migratory routes are the paths animals follow when traveling between seasonal habitats.
Birds, whales, caribou, and butterflies follow established routes, often spanning thousands of miles: The Pacific Flyway is a major migratory route for waterfowl.
These corridors connect breeding grounds with wintering areas, typically passing through stopover sites where animals rest and feed.
