It's Okay to Be Smart: Unraveling the Monarch Butterfly Migration Mystery

Different math equations and graphs are drawn, with a butterfly as the backdrop.

The monarch butterfly migration is one of nature’s greatest events. This orange-winged wonder travels up to 4,500 km from all over North America to spend the winter hanging from oyamel fir trees in central Mexico’s mountain forests. But how does an animal with a brain the size of a sesame seed navigate to this one special place? Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series.
