Did you know the heavy summer rains in Moab have caused tiny creatures to hatch out on the bare rock literally within seconds of a downpour? How do they survive?
Check out Moab Area Travel Council's new short film on the Ephemeral Pools of Moab: The Nature and Creatures of Water Potholes with retired USGS Biological Research Scientist Tim Graham. The latest video in our Moab Science Series takes a macro look at the survival strategies of tadpole shrimp (AKA triops,) fairy shrimp, clam shrimp and more.
