Because that’s the color you turn before you mate
Sockeye Salmon. The real question we should be asking though is why it is spelled with an “L.”
why is knife spelt with a k?
why is hour spelt with an h?
Why is wednesday pronounced wendsday?
Just is. Michael McIntyre did a good bit about this.
Because you’re absolutely delicious
Either rude or weird. Depends on how you mean it 😄
Or could it be that the place and time when salmon are easily seen by people is spawning season and at least some of the species turn a bright “salmon pink/red” colour at that time? They are dying then as well, but naturally, so it is still and end of life colour for them.
Why does it say “Source: US government”? 😂
probs from the pic of the fishy.
Fun (not fun) fact: farmed salmon meat is gray, so they put coloring agents in their feed to turn it into the color we expect it to be.
I think it’s cool that fish and butterflies have scales
Wow, that just blew my mind.
I guess there’s reptiles, too
