Every year, billions of animals migrate in search of food, water, or a mate. We go on assignment in the U.K. with ecologist and National Geographic Explorer Lucy Hawkes as she investigates some of the most astonishing stories of animal perseverance. Along the way, meet the unexpected fish, mammals, and birds that qualify as the greatest animal athletes and trace their massive migrations across the globe.
