Stay tuned at the end of this video for a huge announcement involving Life Noggin AND

some of my favorite animation creators on youtube!

Well there Qbot 9001, what kind of question are you cooking up for me today?

“What if humans migrated like salmon?”

So what would it be like if humans had to migrate like salmon?

Spoiler alert — it'd be pretty darn weird.

Like a lot of things in nature, the reason for migrating and swimming upstream boils

For salmon, this is called spawning, which means laying eggs.

Salmon are typically between 2 and 6 when they're ready to spawn, and that means one

Salmon swim upstream to reproduce, with some swimming hundreds of miles to reach their

Recent research has shown that salmon can use the Earth's geomagnetic field to help

them find their way back home on these long-distance migrations.

This also seems to be the way that little baby salmon can find their way from their

Smell also seems to play a role in salmon spawning migration.

Younger salmon learn the smell of their home stream as they leave the nest and can use

it to help find their way back when it's time bolster the salmon forces.

This might even lead to a bunch of rerouting on our salmon friend's GPS as they have

to “test the water” down different streams to find the path that smells just right.

Now, having to make your way on home to do the, um, do-si-do would probably be a pretty

big inconvenience — especially when you learn what happens after salmon mate — but

the whole thing about smelling your way home already plays on something that humans experience.

Smell is closely connected to human memory, which is why a whiff of a pumpkin spice latte

can take you back to the memories of frolicking in the fall leaves and making pumpkinmen with

During the journey home, salmon start to go through some changes.

Depending on their species, salmon can change color and develop extra features like a hooked

snout and elongated teeth to help them attract a mate and defend their spawning grounds.

That wouldn't be too bad if you humans had to do the same — it's basically just a

But the salmon's “makeover” doesn't stop with its outsides.

At some point along the journey, certain salmon stop feeding and their insides begin to break

down, making more room for eggs and sperm.

The salmon then start to live off of the built-up fat that's stored in their body, giving

them enough energy to go and do the deed.

After spawning actually happens, things get, well, even worse for our salmon friends.

The fate for most salmon at this point is to die soon after mating, their decaying bodies

providing a nutrient-rich environment for their growing fish spawn.

That's about the most morbid way to take care of your kids that I've ever heard of.

So, if humans really were like salmon, you'd have some pretty terrifying things to look

And don't even get me started on having to deal with these guys.

So do you have questions you want me to feed Qbot?

His question generating algorithm definitely needs some work.

Let me know down in the comments section below.

My animator friends Illymation, TheOdd1sOut, Emirichu, and SomethingelseYT are doing a

Personally I would've went with Blocko Party, but It's close enough!

Some of your favorite animation channels are gonna be playing really fun drawing games

live and we're getting the audience involved!

If this goes well, we might be adding more shows in more cities!

So if you like all of these people, and you can make it to LA, get your tickets now before

Oh, I forgot to mention, my friend Pat will be hosting the event.

He's a very close friend of mine, and sounds suspiciously like me.

Watch I'll say something “Hey There Welcome To - ...oh okay I guess I do.”

I'll be there too, but I'll be hiding backstage since i'm afraid of big crowds!

Don't forget to keep on thinking and don't forget to go to BlockPartyLiveTour.com and
