Life cycle
editThe following sounds like it was taken directly from its source (tone is certainly not encyclopedic):
During the course of their short lives, each may produce thousands of eggs. If time allows, several generations may occur. When the water evaporates and little remains of their pool, they dig a hole in the mud and bury their eggs. It is a race against time because the water body is dwindling every day. Soon it is gone. The shrimps by then are desiccated corpses but their eggs live on, waiting for the next rainstorm which may be decades away. During the intervening years, desert winds may carry away some of the eggs and a few may end up in locations where water accumulates after rain. In this way, the long dead shrimp has colonized new areas.
Suggesting a rewrite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.74.114.228 (talk) 10:02, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
