The saiga lives in Central Asia. In the spring, it walks to higher places. A male
saiga can walk thirty-five kilometres a day and it’s faster than a female. The
journey is more difficult for a female saiga because she has her calf in the spring.

Many turtles swim longer distances than other sea animals, but the loggerhead
turtle has a longer journey than other turtles. It leaves the beach as a baby and it
swims around fourteen thousand kilometres. Fifteen years later, the female turtle
returns to the same beach and lays eggs.

Tree frogs go on shorter journeys than other animals, but for a small tree frog the
journey isn’t easier. Every spring it climbs down a tree. That’s about thirty metres.
It lays eggs in water and then returns up the tree. For a tree frog that’s a very long
journey.
