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.
