Salmon, scent and going home again - Maniraptora: Tastes Like Chicken Blog | Nature Publishing Group

Salmon, scent and going home again - Maniraptora: Tastes Like Chicken Blog | Nature Publishing Group: "On a cool autumn afternoon, I stepped out of my friend's house and witnessed a phenomenon of nature I had never seen before. In a stream flowing through the back yard, I saw the bodies of spawning coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, gleaming blood-red in the bright sunlight. These fish battered themselves mercilessly against the stream bed, digging shallow nests in the gravel where they were depositing their eggs. Against enormous odds, they had survived the rigors of ocean life, and had returned to their birthplace to spawn."
