Explore with pupils how animals need to move to get food and get away from danger. Ask the pupils why animals need food for energy. Compare how plants and animals move and how they acquire energy.

Researchers have been dreaming of an Internet of Animals. They’re getting closer to monitoring 100,000 creatures—and revealing hidden facets of our shared world. There was something strange about the ...

Animals that migrate: Every year, as the days shorten and the temperature drops, billions of animals that migrate embark on one of nature's greatest spectacles: the winter migration. This massive ...

Strong methods do exist for measuring animal movement in the context of energy expenditure, but these are limited by the physical size of the equipment used. Now, in a paper published in the Journal ...

New research analyzing more than 3,000 tropical forest sites reveals that areas with fewer seed-dispersing animals store up to four times less carbon than forests with healthy wildlife populations.

Native animals are migrating onto properties and into towns in search of food and water due to severe drought conditions in South Australia. The change in animal behaviour comes after areas in the ...

Monarchs: Multi-generational, 3,000-mile flight to Mexican forests. Gray Whales: Longest mammal migration (14,000 mi) to birth in warm lagoons. Arctic Tern: Global champion, covering 25,000 miles to ...
