263 for you, Glen Coco! You go Glen Coco! We're excited to report increased numbers of one of the world’s rarest fishes! Biologists counted 263 Devils Hole pupfish, which is the most they’ve observed in 19 years! 🐟 Devils Hole pupfish live in the upper 80 feet of a deep water-filled cavern and sun-lit shallow shelf at the cavern’s entrance, making this the smallest range of any vertebrate species on the planet. Devils Hole is a detached unit of Death Valley National Park adjacent to Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nye County, Nevada. Before the 1990s, the population was around 400-500 pupfish in the fall. However, pupfish numbers have been especially low during the last two decades, averaging only 90 fish. We’re excited about the future directions for research and recovery of this rare little fish! More in our story⬆️ Photo by Olin Feuerbacher/USFWS #devilsholepupfish #fishofinstagram #october3rd
