As close to T-Rex as you’d ever wanna get!

Straight from a time when dinosaurs weren’t just confined to giant parks, Deluxe Triassic Triops will have you feeling like you were transported back 250 million years into the past. This isn’t some novelty “pet” like sea monkeys or pet rock (c’mon, a rock!?), no, Deluxe Triassic Triops, known better in scientific fields as the ancient Triops Longicaudatus, is a living, breathing relic of the ancient Earth when omnivorous predators stalked the lands and purple, singing stegosauruses were still millions of years from tarnishing dinosaurs’ good names.

Unlike brine shrimp or inanimate minerals disguised as pets, Deluxe Triassic Triops doesn’t require the imagination of a child or, more specifically, a child of the ‘70’s to make it interesting; on the contrary, you don’t even need to be interested in science to be fascinated by these little guys.

Sometimes called the “dinosaur shrimp,” Deluxe Triassic Triops is identical to their ancient crustacean ancestors who could live for centuries in a state of suspended animation, allowing them to survive droughts and other hazardous occurrences. And as they are guaranteed to hatch within 48 hours of receiving them, you will quickly be able to begin the enthralling documentation of their awesome lives.

The kit includes everything you need to raise 20-30 of these colorful little creatures as well as a guide for experiments and other useful information. Great for children with a profound interest in prehistoric creatures or anyone looking to replace the old goldfish atop the television, Deluxe Triassic Triops is bound to go down in history as one truly amazing life form…oh wait! It already has.
