How can VR help students and researchers visualize animal migration patterns?

Animal migration patterns span vast geographies and seasons making it hard to fully grasp on flat maps. How can VR help students and researchers visualize these dynamic movements? Imagine 3D globe simulations where you “ride along” with tagged birds or swim beside migrating whales, complete with environmental overlays and temporal controls. What platforms or projects already tackle this, and how could augmented data layers like temperature or vegetation indices enhance understanding?
