From whales to manatees, pronghorn antelopes to monarch butterflies,
travel along with North American animals as they make the trip of a
lifetime.
Follow the paths of nine very different types of animals, exploring how
and why they take their road trips and the challenges they face along
the way. Snakes slither along Southern Ilinois's Snake Road. Gray Whales
swim down the California coast to Baja in Mexico and sandhill cranes
wing their way through the midwest. Along the way, these animals
on-the-go mate, molt and munch in really unique ways. Migrating polar
bears cross through the center of Churchill, Manitoba and monarch
butterflies may even cross through your back yard. Kids learn how and
when to catch these commuting critters along their paths. Fabulous
photos from the National Wildlife Foundation showcase these amazing
animals. Bonus: fun facts about each creature and their habitats.
