Migration Revisited

I was so excited today to see a recent National Geographic magazine. The article was all about animal migration. I found it most interesting that the author pointed out these traits:

1. Migratory animals travel in a linear path- not zig-zag.

2. Migratory animals prepare for their travel.

3. Migratory animals seem to show a sense of purpose in their travel- and don't stray from that purpose for risk of perishing.

Once I read these things I knew my idea of migratory animals and religious people wasn't that far off. It's always nice to feel intelligent- even if it's for a brief moment! =0)
