Sea Monkeys

Sometimes, things aren’t like the names they were given. While an orange fruit certainly has the color orange, a dragon fruit isn’t necessarily a dragon. Well, another example is Sea Monkeys. Those who don’t know about these probably thought of a monkey swimming with fish, but no, that’s not what these are.

Sea Monkeys take credit for being one of the first pets many of us had. Often sold in a plastic container with a pack of feeds, these tiny shrimps only need to be fed once a week. If raised well, they can live for as long as two years. It wouldn’t be too surprising to learn that those of us who had these back in the day now have an aquarium.
