    A science teacher showed us a video of a salmon ejaculation in 8th grade and mainly I wondered why she thought we’d need to see that

          I learned about it from kids at summer camp and a penthouse we found under the leaves in an alley by a middle school when I was 6. Super healthy.

        Why no videos like that of bears or horses or humans? I guess I could take it the other direction and picture videos of bugs laying eggs… that seems normal… I suppose fish are different enough from people for it to seem sort of normal.
