Witness a 220-Million-Year-Old Species come to life! Excite and generate curiosity in the classroom or homeschool! Makes a great conversation piece in the Science Cave!
Experience the wonder of hatching and nurturing your very own prehistoric pets! You’ll be amazed as a 220-million-year-old species comes to life right before your eyes! Just add water and watch the Triops eggs hatch and grow to more than 20 times their original size! Triops are considered “living fossils” because they’ve been around for about 300 million years! They were lived with the dinosaurs! Triops have three eyes! The middle eye, on the top of their head, is used to detect sunlight. This allows them to know which way is up when they’re swimming in murky water. Put your Triops in a dark room and, using a flashlight, you’ll actually be able to make them swim, upside down, on their side, and even do flips! How cool is that?Having your own prehistoric pet is easy and fun!
