Two species of rare freshwater crabs were discovered in Modi'in - voila! tourism. Also, more common species were found in winter ponds, such as a reddish foot, cyclops, daphnia, and sea cucumbers.
Rare plant species were also found - the crooked-seeded altine, the puddle ankle, and the truncated sedge, known in Israel only from the Golan and Upper Galilee regions. Watch Walla! tourism on Channel 2 at 9 p.m.
