Excited to see our Ephemeral Pools of Moab video pass ONE MILLION VIEWS in just 4 months! Thank you to our production partners Moab Area Travel Council / Discover Moab for funding what would seem to be such an obscure topic. Who knew fairy shrimp would be so captivating? And special thanks to Tim Graham who brings it all to life. Apologies for the ads – we don't monetize our channel but youtube forces ads.

We can't say thank you enough to Discover Moab for funding the video and to USGS Biological Research Scientist (retired) Tim Graham for teaching us everything we ever wanted to know about Fairy Shrimp!

Did you know that Moab has three-eyed shrimp that hatch when it rains? The mysterious Tadpole Shrimp, AKA Triops, is one of the most interesting science stories in Moab’s high desert landscape. You won’t find them in Moab’s ephemeral pools right now, though. They only hatch during the warmer rains of summer. Special thanks to retired USGS Scientist Tim Graham for sharing his insights on these beastly shrimp!

Three years ago in Washington, DC we filmed this video for the Public Lands Alliance – it was the first week of March, 2020 and there was talk of this virus that might disrupt National Park visitation. How little we knew! This year’s PLA Convention is in-person February 26 to March 2 at the Oregon Convention Center. Cheers to that!

Have you ever seen a fairy shrimp in the desert? January rain brought life to normally-dry depressions at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada. Macro filming reveals fairy shrimp feeding in a temporary pool – ancient creatures that have adapted to the harshest of environments. They can hatch within 24 hours of a rain and their eggs last years on bare rock, surviving scorching summer temperatures and freezing winters.
