Sea Monkeys are a type of brine shrimp, specifically the species Artemia salina. They are often sold as novelty pets in kits that include eggs, food, and a small aquarium. When the eggs are added to water, they hatch into tiny, live creatures that can grow up to 2 inches long. These creatures are known for their unique appearance, with long tails and large, expressive eyes. Sea Monkeys are easy to care for, requiring minimal maintenance and feeding. They thrive in saltwater environments and can live for several months, making them a popular choice for children and hobbyists alike.
