Triassic Triops are actual prehistoric creatures which are identical to their prehistoric kin. They survived the centuries during interrupted states of suspended animation or "diapause". This state of suspended animation enables the Triops to survive seasonal drought. Triops are crustaceans that can be traced back to the prehistoric times. These three-eyed creatures grow up to 3 Inch in length in their 20-90 day life span, sometimes doubling in size in a single day! Triops are brightly colored due to hemoglobin in the blood and pigment in their Connective tissue.
