Those who live west of the Rocky Mountains will migrate to Southern California and hibernate in eucalyptus trees. Another reason for the monarch migration besides not being able to withstand the cold is the food they need to survive…

Currently, research has enlightened the world towards the causes and effects of FFI, but the cures are still yet to be found. A…
