Scientist and biologist Dr. Rachel Connors took many years learning on these rare creatures. with their tiny body measuring less than an inch, the pupfish only survive in waters over 32°C barery no oxygen. They represents their old and ancient species, being stack in the oasis for many years as the desert's emerging over them. For Rachel, the Devils Hole pupfish is a sign of life and more to come.

Although, the fish are living on a small scale, there're less 100 left, by any small mistake, all of them could be distinct. Year by year, researchers like Rachel take time and renumber them, hoping to know and learn more on how they survive.

As Rachel stared the shinny blue pupfish dancing the waters, she was encouraged and reminded on how life could be better. In a world where everything is scattered, the Devils Hole pupfish still live as a real meaning and a value to nature’s fragile beauty, lying on a line.
