Summary of clip: In this clip, all of the animals are migrating due to the movement of glaciers. A couple of "stragglers" go against the flow of migration for different reasons, but end up on an adventure...

Connection of flickclip to the concept: As animals migrate for many reasons, the clip in this film is depicting the migration during the Ice Age as the movment of glaciers pushes the large population of animals out of most habitats.

1. Suggested questions for students when viewing the clip:

1. Where are all the animals going? Why?
2. What type of animals migrate? Give specific examples and reasons for migration.
