Fairy Shrimp on our Instagram Story at the Black Rock Desert Playa in Nevada!

The Black Rock Desert playa has come back to life with the high amounts of precipitation Nevada has encountered. Aquatic species that lie dormant on the playa, hatch when water levels make for the right environment. “Fairy shrimp” are one such species and can be seen in our Instagram Story today! There are other species and varieties that are common to desert playas in Nevada.

This year the Black Rock Desert playa has been home to a unique experience, receiving the most water many have seen in a few decades. As the winds continue this spring, the water recedes, meaning that these tiny creatures must reproduce and lay eggs quickly. Exploring your public lands can lead to some unforeseen discoveries!

SEA MONKEY UPDATE! My little babies are growing up! Still can't tell the males from the females, but hopefully soon. I've noticed a few new teenie tiny ones as well ^^ #seamonkeys #brineshrimp #fairyshrimp #mysmolchildren #update #leopardgeckoyoutube

Still so many! I feel like these guys/girls are only alive thanks to @leopardgeckoyoutube I don't think I would have as many if I hadn't watched her videos first. #seamonkeys #update #brineshrimp #fairyshrimp #leopardgecko

This video shows 2 hatchlings about 24 hours after I put the eggs in (so the hatchlings themselves are probably 12 hours old). Hanging out on the black cord of my thermometer you can see a peachy coloured hatchling that’s kind of moving in place, hovering back and forth, and you’ll see a white coloured hatchling swimming on its right. I’m pretty certain that the peach coloured one is a triop, while the white one (which is moving a lot more fluidly) is a fairy shrimp.
