Triops have lived on the Earth for 200 million years. They inhabit temporary bodies of water subject to total drying. Just add distilled water (from the supermarket) and Triops will hatch in just 24 hours! "These ain't your momma's Sea Monkeys!" Doubling in size nearly every day, Triops grow to OVER 2 INCHES in length! In fact, they will eat any Sea Monkeys (Brine Shrimp) which happen to be in the mix. This is simply the best fast life cycle animal study kit we have ever seen. Each kit comes with a covered plastic tank, liquid crystal thermometer, food for an entire life cycle (approx. 2 months), dried Triops eggs and a terrific fully illustrated instruction booklet. Try them out. You and your students will love them!
