Salmon in the ocean, are great looking fish. When they return to the streams to spawn, their life is just about over. They turn red (and a touch green), have little or nothing to eat, and the males especially, get that hooked jaw.

After spawning, they all die in their home stream or lake. A bonanza for scavengers, but quite a mess sometimes.
