Here’s the answer from the info sign:
“ Most years, Antelope Springs produces 1.5 million gallons of water a day. During droughts, however, very little rain falls on the recharge zone where water seeps down into the aquifer. Human use can also affect water levels in the aquifer.
When the aquifer runs low on water, Antelope Springs goes dry. Park records show that Antelope Springs has gone dry at least 22 times in the past 100 years.”
Is that a new species, the Long-tailed Armadillo? Dasypus longicaudus LOL. I love the arrangement of the large rocks around the spring. You just can’t beat Nature.
The scientists that did the other splitting of the armadillos species I bet missed this one😉😂
Multiple springs have gone dry in and around the park. And this the sign said “Every spring is mysterious, until you know what’s underground. The secret underneath this natural spring is a network of water-filled cracks and fissures called the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer. Unlike other springs in the park, this one has been left in its natural state.
No pavilion, no stone enclosures, no pipes – just cool, clear water that springs directly from the aquifer.” So this is a spring you will want to see!
Maybe a two tailed armadillo?😉. Poor octopuses
😂 I guess it could be😂😂
A pretty spring! I bet water constant temperature!
I bet you are right. Probably would be awesome to see steam coming of it if it was really cold?
Very shy armadillos for sure hiding under the moss.
That’s a wonderful spring – wonder if it is running all year?
