AnswerClick to flip back
A
Arctic tern
💡 Explanation:
The Arctic tern holds the record for the longest migration of any animal, traveling from its Arctic breeding grounds to Antarctic waters and back each year. This pole-to-pole journey covers approximately 71,000 kilometers annually. Swallows and cranes migrate but not between the poles, while penguins are adapted to cold southern regions and don't migrate to the Arctic.
