Listen to millions of monarch butterflies on their annual migration

Listen to millions of monarch butterflies on their annual migrationHave you ever seen monarch butterflies?

Every winter, during their short life span, millions of monarch butterflies fly to Mexico and California to breed (have babies). Then, later, in Spring, they come back to where they live. One monarch butterfly and its wing flap may not make much noise. But when millions travel together, the sound they make is amazing.

A man named Phil Torres took videos of the monarch butterflies as they fly in millions. He posted it on Youtube and you can also watch it below.
Endangered species
Sadly, the monarch butterfly is an endangered species. This is because of chemicals. climate change and cutting down of forests where they live. Moreover, monarch butterflies eat only a plant called milkweed. But people spray chemicals on the plants, making it dangerous for them.
