Anthropromorphic Salmons

## Current Status and Population:

Current estimates put the overall Anthro-Salmon population at roughly 10.1 Billion

## Anatomy

Anthropomorphic salmon have similar anatomical structures to humans save four critical things: scaly skin, fishy eyes, funky flippers, and a protruding pelvis dealing with a different reproductive anatomy.

### Similar Anatomical Structures

#### Neuroanatomy

Anthro-salmon share a similar Neuroanatomy to that of humans. Being vertebrates, they have a Central Nervous System alongside a Peripheral Nervous System that is nearly identical to humans, though the neurological structure is significantly more folded, allowing for more white-matter; resulting in an overall greater average processing speed, greater capacity for knowledge and memory, and a greater capacity for drugs.

This increased folding of the brain results from the anthro-salmon embryological development, in which chemicals structurally similar to DMT and THC are introduced to the Anthro-Salmon fetus, which increases fetal mortality rates relative to humans, but this naturally rids the weak. This natural process heavily influenced the evolutionary psychology of these slippery creatures.

#### Cardiovascular System

Anthro-salmon have similar cardiovascular system to mammals, with a single central heart and complex vascular and arterial systems that pump to and fro a four-chambered heart. This cardiovascular system carries oxygen via beanoglobin, functionally hemoglobin, and is regulated by enzymes and hormones dispensed by the endocrine system.

#### Endocrinology

Unlike other fish, anthro-salmon are warm-blooded with a hypothalamus that regulates body-temperature. This deals with plenty of complex endocrinology and neuroanatomy that only nerds know. Otherwise, anthro-salmon have thyroids and some other glands to regulate different hormones and receptors.

Special to the anthro-salmons, an ecstasy gland is present that, in response to certain chemicals, will release the "aggressive cuddling" hormones that increase heart-rate and ability to produce fumbalough and the thick, gelatinous substance mentioned in the Reproduction section.

### Different Anatomical Structures

#### Scaly Skin

The easily identifiable trait too all but the blind is the scaly skin of the anthro-salmon. This skin is soft and warm to the touch, unlike the cold-blooded fishy fish that are the predecessors of these evolved fish.

This skin is dark but highly reflective, which leads to a "wild blue yonder" tint to the anthro-salmon under most condition. However, this color can change depending on hormone regulation, so during different stages of development of different sexes, alongside intimate, known as "hot and fishy," moments. These potential colors fall into: Zinnwaldite brown, antique fuchsia, Cal Poly Pomona green, café au lait, and atomic tangerine.

The anthro-salmon skin has also been referenced in legends and erotica amongst different species, for it is alleged softer than silk and very succulent, ripe, and "ready to wrap yourself inside of until you can no longer breath," in the words of Quertyuiop.

#### Fishy Eyes

The fishy eyes also distinguish the anthro-salmon heavily. Protruding out of the sides of the head opposed to the front, they are significantly more sensitive to light than other species, such as humans, but also perceive more wavelenghts of light than other species.

They work via sensitive cones that detect color and brightness, which feeds information to an optic nerve, similar to humans, but greater cone density, alongside different forms of cones (go ask the nerds) leads to more perception of different wavelengths.

This increased sensitivity has led to numerous scientific and artistic advancements that would have otherwise not been found historically, and led to multiple artistic and cultural movements.

### Reproductive Anatomy

Anthro-salmon consist of four separate sexes, resultant from two separate sex chromosomes that are completely variable. These sex chromosomes have been denoted amongst a quadmodal model with the normal modes being: XX, XY, YX, YY. Different communities of Anthro-Salmon have historically denoted these four separate sexes in different ways with different socio-cultural roles, mentioned in the evolutionary psychology; however purely from a scientific stance, all four sexes are necessary for reproduction.

#### Protruding Pelvis

The protruding pelvis is distinct to the YY sex, which is required alongside other internal organs (ask the damn nerds) to produce the thick, gelatinous substance which covers the eggs.

This protruding pelvis is acclaimed as attractive amongst various species, most notably some engines, such as Quertyuiop, who stated, "The protruding pelvis is so hot that I blew steam when I saw the Jambargo (a gender created that denotes the YY sex) walk into the room, each step a new clap (literary analysis has no consensus on this, but determines it means Quertyuiop is attracted to the "claps").

#### Flippity Flappers

The flippity flappers is a reproductive organ specific to the XX sex that generates unfertilized eggs through some process with gametes and chromosomes (ask the god-damned nerds), and lays eggs through an orifice that is inappropriate for your young mind.

Flippity flappers have been found attractive by various species, and are critical to reproduction amongst anthro-salmon as explained in the lower Reproduction section.

#### Funky Flippers

The funky flipper are protruding structures in the XY and YX sexes. They resemble geoducks and produce the fumbalough in the lower flipper, which slightly varies with the different sexes.

After enough friction is generated, fumbalough is created from the funky flippers having fumb, distinct to the XY, and alough, distinct to the YX, come out of the orifice at the top of the funky flippers.

## Reproduction

The Anthro-Salmon are sexual creatures known for being incredibly seductive to not only fellow salmon, but also other species. With the reproductive anatomy of Anthro-Salmon results a liberal view on sexual activity, which leads to large "Egg Parties," in which reproduction occurs en-masse amongst parties of 8 to a reported 8,000 anthro-salmon at a single time.

Reproduction works via the XX sex carries unfertilized eggs, which must be deposited from the flippity flapper, then XY and YX (Both distinct sexes because of differences in embryological developmental order) must come together and flunk their funky flappers quickly to produce fumbalough, which then fertilizes the eggs. Finally, the YY-sexed Anthro-Salmon gets "down-and-dirty" with the other three to create a thick, gelatinous substance which covers the fertilized eggs to protect them and be a source of easily-absorbed nutrients. Over time, these eggs, which are deposited anywhere from 10-50 after the average reproductive session, develop and grow.

## Evolutionary Psychology

Because of the sexual reproductive capacity and necessities of the anthro-salmon, the views and socio-cultural practices have developed as heavily progressive, especially in regards to sexuality, gender-identity, life-style, and other social delineations, relative to other cultures.

#### Sexuality

Amongst these, notably sexuality and gender identity developed to be very liberal. Since early history, the sexuality of anthro-salmon has been accepted by nearly every anthro-salmon society. This is because of the focus on sex being not only reproductive, but also for pleasure, amongst

However, the mix between cultures over history has bred different views amongst some anthro-salmon, breeding reactionary salmonism, which has led to multiple deaths and incidents.

#### Gender Identity

Anthro-salmon have also had interesting views amongst gender identity. Many anthro-salmon communities have been accepting of different sexes falling into whichever gender identity they care fall into, however there have also been those that set rigid categories that are oppressive of some.

Amongst these oppressive communities, XY and YX tend to fall into the category of oppressed, for their development through stages of growth result in lower muscle masses and densities, because of the resources being spent on the funky flippers.

#### Art and Culture

Arts and cultures have been thought to develop in a different way relative to the humans because of sexual promiscuity related to sexual reproduction differences and altered visual perception from the differences in eyes. Different philosophers, notably anthro-salmon philosophers, have developed these thoughts. Amongst these is Jardaign B. Beatmyson, who outlines this in his book *Traps I'm Leaning*, "Anthro-Salmon society developed in such an intricate way because of the incredible advances made culturally and scientifically from the sensitivity of the eyes alongside the pleasures of the flesh in grand Egg Parties of thousands."
