behavioral adaption
The Arctic Tern is known to have the longest migration route of any bird, flying from its breeding grounds in the Arctic to its wintering grounds in the Antarctic and back, covering a round trip of up to 44,000 miles (71,000 kilometers) each year.
Migration for breeding and food
A small, slender white bird, the Arctic Tern is well known for its long yearly migration. Its travel from its Arctic breeding grounds to its wintering grounds off of Antarctica may cover perhaps 40,000 km (25,000 mi), and is the farthest yearly journey of any bird.
The chiffchaff, a small migratory warbler, typically migrates between its breeding grounds in Europe and its wintering areas in sub-Saharan Africa. The migration distance can vary, but on average, it travels around 3,000 kilometers (about 1,860 miles) southward. Some individuals may also winter in regions like the Mediterranean or southern Europe, depending on environmental conditions.
A structural adaptation refers to a physical feature of an organism that enhances its survival and reproduction in its environment. For instance, the long neck of a giraffe is a structural adaptation for reaching high leaves. Conversely, a sentence that describes behavior, such as "The bird migrates south for the winter," does not describe a structural adaptation, as it pertains to a behavioral adaptation instead.
The Pacific whitesided dolphin's biggest winter adaptation is that it migrates to California during this time.
No bear migrates south.
Many animals migrate, often the reason for migration is due to the availability of food. The African Elephant migrates during the wet and dry seasons to find food and a good water supply. They migrate in herds for protection. Another animal that migrates in search of food is the Eastern White-Bearded Wildebeest. This species migrates each year looking for food and water. It is known that approximately one million wildebeests take part in this migration.

The orange-bellied parrot is found only in the far southwest of Tasmania, Australia's island state, although it migrates to coastal Victoria and South Australia after the breeding season.
One example of an animal that migrates is the monarch butterfly. These butterflies travel between North and Central America to avoid harsh winters and find suitable breeding grounds. During migration, they can travel thousands of miles.
