Comboanimals Information
The salmon goes on an incredibly difficult journey throughout its life. They are born in a stream and swim down the stream to the ocean. When they want to mate they swim back up the same stream to the same spot they were born to mate and have their offspring. When swimming upstream salmon can jump nearly 7ft out of the water up rocky streams to do this. The monkamon will do the same trip but will find the journey back a lot easier than the salmon cousin as it has limbs, hands and feet to climb up the rocky streams.
The monkamon has the gills of a salmon and can only breathe underwater. It therefore has little to no interactions with its monkey cousins.
Salmon have incredible navigation abilities. It does this with its strong sense of smell, it’s ability to map its surroundings in terms of smell and its great memory. This is how it can swim thousands of miles away from its birthplace and still can navigate itself back. Its lower half was that of a sleek salmon, with shimmering scales and a powerful tail that allows it to swim gracefully.
The Monkamon is believed to inhabit freshwater waterways and the ocean. It’s diet consist of small aquatic organisms it catches while swimming. It is a skilled hunter, using its sharp claws to catch fish and small animals to eat. Its diet consisted mainly of fish, but it would occasionally venture onto land to forage for fruits and berries.
