temperatures of over 50℃are often recorded.

The eggs of the Mojave shrimps look like grains of sand both in size and

appearance.When enough spring rain falls to form a lake,once every two to

five years,these eggs hatch.Then the water is soon filled with millions of

tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal

organisms (有机物)which also grow in the temporary desert lake.Within a

week,the shrimps grow from their original 1millimetre to a length of about

1.5centimetres.

Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing,the water in
