A fact from Grunion appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 June 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the grunion is a sardine-sized fish only found off the coast of California and Baja California that comes up on sandy beaches at very high tides (during the new and full moons) to lay its eggs?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/June.

Jacob Bronowski's BBC series "The Ascent of Man" has some excellent footage of Grunions in the first episode. — special:contribs/220.246.164.59 23:00, 4 June 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think Nova Scotia has grunion, but they run up streams. — special:contribs/142.163.194.1 01:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So they were not only found in California or Baja. We used to have grunion runs on the Island years ago. I remember as a kid going out with my parents on the beach. It was such an amazing experience. 2604:3D08:3480:2700:90CA:2AE6:268B:60E1 (talk) 07:51, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
