Sea-Monkeys® are the world's only living, breathing Instant Pets. A true miracle of nature, Sea-Monkeys® actually exist in Suspended Animation! While inside their tiny eggs, yet unborn, they burn the "spark of life" for many years, until such time as their parent (YOU) release them from their sleep, bringing them to life before your very eyes. What a thrill it is to see your new pets grow up, start dating, and even have kids of their own.
