The Great Glide

Whooping cranes needed help. They did not know how to migrate. They did not know where to go. Why? There were no older birds to teach the young birds. So, people taught the young birds to follow small airplanes. The planes guided the birds along a safe route. Now these cranes know where to go! They teach their babies.

Many animals migrate. They use different ways to help them get where they’re going.
