One of the rarest fish on earth, the Devils Hole pupfish in Death Valley, is making a comeback — relatively. Scientists recently counted 175 of the small fish, the highest count in 22 years.

The finding also comes 50 years after the first time the isolated fish were counted on April 6, 1972.

The fish live in the sun-lit shallows of a small cavern, the smallest range of any vertebrate on the planet, according to Death Valley National Park. (Devils Hole is a detached unit of Death Valley National Park adjacent to Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nye County.)
