One of the rarest fish on Earth lives in the last place you’d expect—an isolated pool in the middle of the Nevada desert. The Devils Hole pupfish survives in a single water-filled cavern, cut off from the outside world for thousands of years. Its entire species depends on one tiny habitat, making it one of the most fragile and unusual survival stories in nature. Scientists are still trying to understand how it adapted—and how long it can keep surviving there. Watch now to uncover why the world’s rarest fish is trapped in the desert.
