2 Answers. , I went nude hiking in Darwin Falls and Golden Canyon in Death Valley. The highest recognized official temperature is 134 degrees fahrenheit in 1913, as the other answer said. However, in 2012 a meteorologist visiting Badwater Basin recorded a temperature of 135.5 degrees fahrenheit.
In the ocean, pink salmon feed on plankton, other smaller fish, squid, and the occasional aquatic insect. The tiny marine crustaceans pink salmon eat are what give their flesh its pink color. As with all members of the salmon family, when they return to freshwater to spawn, they stop eating.
Adult fish range in size from 14 to 18 inches (36 to 46 cm) in length, average weight is approximately 4 pounds (1.8 kg). Pink salmon harvests are larger in odd numbered years and spawn in 2 year cycles. Hence, they are the smallest and most abundant of the salmon species.
