520 _a"The phenomenon is actually fairly rare in nature. Although many species gather in reasonably large numbers, only a comparative few congregate in their tens or hundreds of thousands, even millions. And they do so for different reasons. For some species, mass aggregations are merely the peak of a fluctuating population cycle that keeps a balance between their own needs and those of their predators....For other species, however, huge numbers represent the best chance of survival under difficult circumstances." (ECOLOGIST) This article examines the massing in huge numbers of certain animal species.
