Question
Which one among the following undertakes the longest migration?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is renowned for having the longest migration of any animal. It breeds in the Arctic and migrates to the Antarctic and back each year, a round trip of up to 70,000 km (about 43,500 miles). This allows it to experience two summers per year and more daylight than any other animal.
Hint
This bird travels from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back annually.
