The critically endangered Devils Hole pupfish, an inch-long metallic blue fish, has rebounded in its remote Mojave Desert cavern, facing challenges like water level depletion and human intrusion.
The fish population declined from 200-250 in the 1990s to a low of 35 in 2013. The pupfish encountered threats including groundwater siphoning by ranchers, leading to protection measures.
