Desert Puddle Life

A look into the life of some of our desert crustaceans. Yes, we have "shrimp" that call the desert landscape "home."

In this video I show you some Triops and Clam Shrimp that breed in our storm water retention impoundment at my office.

For more information, if you're interested, I've included the wikipedia pages for both animals.

These are some of the really interesting crustacean species that can be found in New Mexico.
