Found Thousands of triops!

[FishFreak95]

I found a temporary pond, it comes and goes as it rains. I found hundreds of triops. I took some home. Heres some pictures.




Any ideas of what species?
Ill head back and get pictures of the pond later.

Triops cancriformis? If they are they are an endangered species I think.

Well I can tell you I didn't even put a dent in there population. I actually transplanted some to some nearby ponds with no triops.
