Salmon (5)

Migrating Animals

by B.J. Best

Salmon live for years in the ocean, but only reproduce once. They swim up the river where they were born, spawn, and then typically die. This approach to reproduction offers unique advantages and challenges. Kids will learn about the amazing ability of these fish to return to their breeding grounds, and how the life cycle of the salmon ensures continuity of the species.
