Definition
A genus of small crustaceans, particularly fairy shrimp, that swim upside-down in temporary pools.
Etymology
From Greek branchia (gill) + pous (foot), referring to their gill-bearing swimming legs; a scientific genus name.
Kelly Says
Branchipus (fairy shrimp) are hermaphrodites that can produce eggs without a mate—these eggs can wait for years underground until rain floods a pool, then hatch within hours!
