Deep dives
Salmon and their innate knowledge for survival
Salmon have the innate ability to navigate through various stages of their lifecycle without the guidance or teaching from their parents. They know how to hatch, swim down the river, thrive in the ocean, and eventually return to their birthplace to lay eggs. Unlike human beings who heavily rely on learning from adults and older siblings, salmon follow their instincts and don't require parental guidance.
