Did you love sea monkeys as a kid? We recently saw some of their cousins, majestic fairy shrimp, swimming in a vernal pool at Lighthouse West Natural Area! Fairy shrimp, or anostraca, is a member of the crustacean group and can be found living in vernal pools (seasonal bodies of water) and small lakes across the world and even in Antarctica. These little guys swim upside down, feed on algae, and are an important food for many birds and fish. Find them intriguing? Come out next Tuesday during #Ea

These rare, federally endangered vernal pool tadpole shrimp have an incredible life journey, going from cysts (eggs) to cyst laying adults in around 144 days. Since vernal pools are seasonal, the life cycle for these shrimp is entirely dependent on the presence or absence of water. Thanks to protective coverings, cysts can remain viable for several years, withstanding extreme conditions until the rains return and the pools fill, triggering the cysts to hatch. #shrimp #tadpoleshrimp #vernalpool #

Check out this fairy shrimp! Spotted during our vernal pool surveys this spring, this tiny swimmer is more than just cute. Fairy shrimp (Eubranchipus vernalis) feed on algae, cleaning the water, and are an important part of the ecosystem by providing food for amphibians and birds. Watch those legs in action as this small but mighty marvel of nature swims! 🎥 Mindy Kantola (TNC) | The Nature Conservancy in Michigan

It may look like just a pond to you, but for some of Minnesota’s wildlife, vernal ponds are home. Vernal ponds are small ponds formed from melted snow and rain water. Some species, like the fairy shrimp, will spend their entire life cycle in a vernal pond. Fairy shrimp drop their eggs in the pond bottom, where they will survive when the pond dries out. In the spring, the water returns and the eggs hatch. Nongame staff spotted these fairy shrimp while they were out conducting four-toed salamander
