It takes four generations of Monarch butterflies to complete the migratory path from the Rockies to Mexico each year, so how do they know where to go? The answer may surprise you; it certainly surprised the scientists who figured it out! In addition to learning about their migration, discover how Monarchs group together to help each other survive. The video is in Spanish with English subtitles.
