A population of endangered desert pupfish have been found in a series of man made ponds in California. Constructed to help facilitate the study of migratory birds near the Salton Sea, these ponds are isolated from any naturally occurring population of the fish by 1.5 miles of pipe and a rock barrier. It is unclear how the fish migrated into the ponds.
The good news is that the population seems to be thriving. Along with several tilapia that seem to have made the journey, there are now thousands of small pupfish in the water.
