A picture of a group of endangered (IUCN) and federally endangered longhorn fairy shrimp (Branchinecta longiantenna) at the Kesterson Unit of the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge. These rare shrimp have an accelerated life cycle, going from eggs in dry soil to hatching, to adult to egg laying, all in just a few months before the pool goes dry.
