Best Answer

Salmon will return to their hatching place to spawn. A single group of salmon may travel hundreds of miles back to the river of their birthplace, hopping over waterfalls, swimming upstream until they get to the place where they hatched. They will then mate and lay eggs, beginning into being another cycle of leaving and returning to spawn. This journey is very dangerous, due to bears waiting at the top of waterfalls to catch the returning salmon.
