A really nice and informative post. I never thought that the bodies of these animal undergo so mangy biological changes as they migrate from one place to another. This is a Nature's gift denied to humans though
Thanks for the sub,

- laserterd, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2id travel back... theres not much left in the future for whales.
- TVarmy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Yeah, about that. In the future, did they take care of the pollution and so on for the whales? Or were they to just figure it out themselves?

- impresently, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4I'm surprised to not see the Arctic Tern, the modest sized bird that travels from pole to pole and then back again once a year to follow the summer sun.
- DforSpiD, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3Yeah me too, I expected it to be number 1 actually...

- laserterd, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3yeah i heard thats a good movie.
- Disturbedsavio, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3It's one of my all time favorite films. It also happens to be the most incredible animal journey of all time, despite being fiction.
- laserterd, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3yeah i heard thats a good movie.
- THETEH, on 12/01/2008, -2/+3One time, a spider crawled the entire length of my desk without me squashing him. It wasn't quite as incredible a journey as some of these, but I still thought it was kind of inspiring.

- Discobiscuits, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4Dugg for that badass gallery navigation.
- nightofbogie, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3first of all, posted by kaiserarmy...thats provocative
second of all, i my friend and i thought this was going to be animal journies like nimo, milo and otis, homeward bound, land before time etc. - say592, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3Im disappointed. I was hoping this was going to be about cats that sneak onto ships bound for international waters, or pet parrots who are found hundreds of miles away from their home.
