~~A rather extreme enlargement~~
This is a pre-historic looking 2" long native Triop.
They were scurrying about in the mud with great determination, probably feeding.
It was bizarre enough to find any pool of water on a high bone dry desert plateau in the first place,
but to find it full of water bourne creatures was mind boggling to the extreme.
It defies imagination and only added to the magical sense of this place;
an Alice in Wonderland dreamscape full of wonderment and suprises.
