There are coho salmon babies at YMCA Camp Orkila! Or more specifically, we have "alevins." DanJ just taught me about the progression of a salmon through its life cycle, and how after they hatch from their eggs they become alevins. You can see his fascination below (with the new otter skeleton Marine Center addition visible behind him).
Also, at the bottom of this post you can watch a video of the little salmon alevins in action. Wiggling those tiny tails and getting acclimated to life in the water!
"Look at the salmon babies!" DanJ exclaims.
