salmon spawning

When adult salmon arrive in a river they spawn. When salmon spawn they start to lose their official color.  The male's jaw curves and can't eat. The female makes a nest for the babies  with her strong tail. Female salmon can have about 800 eggs in two hours.

As  you can see here, the female has to pick the strongest  male to protect the babies from the female
