Nature is Weird!

[badly_knitted]

OMG, just found this amazing video of salmon crossing a slightly flooded road and dodging traffic. How weird is that? Not something drivers usually have to watch out for, but it's oddly mesmerising, not to mention edge-of-seat stuff when they go scurrying in front of a car!

Sorry the link won't work for me. Could you maybe just cut & paste the link?

It doesn't work for me now either, although it did at time of posting. Have to see if I can find it again. So annoying because it was fascinating and I wanted to hang on to it. The ones on youtube are much shorter, but I'll keep looking for the one I watched. Sorry =(

Found them on youtube and posted them above - YAY! You can see them now =D

Sorry =(

There are a few on youtube, but they're a lot shorter and not as good.

That's about eight hours away from where I grew up. :-) I've never seen salmon do their run across the street though. I've seen them go up ladders in dams, but never across the street. That's pretty awesome.

I love the way they move! Can salmon be cute, because I think those are, lol!

Drivers don't usually have to watch out for fish...

I just found the whole thing fascinating, I don't know how many times I watched it yesterday!

I think they can be cute. :) I'll have to see if I can find video of the salmon going up the ladders. There's a number of dams on the Colombia River that have the ladders. It's really fun to watch them from the observation rooms in the dams.

I'd love to see that!

Salmon are clever fish, no matter the obstacle they find a way to conquer it (sometimes with a little help from humans).

Funny, at least they got across.
And the people let them.

It's just extraordinary, their determination! Te car drivers had to be careful, it's not your usual road hazard!

Salmon are such strange creatures. It just goes to show that nature will find a way.

I know, right? I can't imagine driving along trying to dodge fish in the road! They're just extraordinary creatures.
