Millionen Tiere, Tausende von Kilometern, Hunderte von Geschichten - dieser packende Bildband veranschaulicht die großen Tierwanderungen, die jedes Jahr auf der Erde stattfinden. Folgen Sie den Zebraherden durch die afrikanische Steppe, Millionen roter Krebse auf ihrer Wanderung über die Weihnachtsinseln, gigantischen Walrossherden auf ihrem Weg aus der Arktis bis nach Russland und schillernden Schmetterlingsschwärmen auf ihrem Flug über Nordamerika. Was veranlasst die Tiere, loszuziehen? Welche unsichtbare Macht führt sie ans Ziel? Dieses Buch gibt erstaunliche Antworten und zeigt auf, wie groß der Einfluss des Menschen auf die Tierwanderungen ist. Neben natürlichen Ursachen wie genetischen Bedingungen, Nahrungssuche, Paarung und Jahreszeitenwechsel spielen zunehmend auch der Klimawandel und die Zerstörung der Umwelt eine Rolle. Diesen einschneidenden Veränderungen versuchen die Arten immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein. Ob im Wasser, in der Luft oder auf dem Land - jede Art hat im Lauf der Evolution einzigartige Fähigkeiten erlangt, um am geeignetsten Ort ihren Bestand zu sichern.
