Animals move from one place to another because of climate changes, the availability of food, or to ensure reproduction. Another reason for migration would perhaps be to complete a lifetime (for example; salmon). For more information: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761557464/Animal_Migration.html#s1

What is the term for the movement of organisms from one place to another?
In the living world, the movements are diverse. The movement of animals is a migration. For example, there is seasonal migration of migratory birds or vertical migration of soil insects. The movement of single-celled organisms is a taxis (movement of the entire body to or from the stimulus). Movement is not always associated with the ability to move, so the pollen of plants is carried by the wind or insects. Cell movements are most often associated with the organelles of movement (flagella, cilia), but they can also move passively or with someone's help.
