UAN Biotech has developed a NEW Aquatic Pet, UANTriops that is the most valuable life science educational product in the world for teaching kids and students about a prehistoric living fossil from dinosaur age and its entire life cycle.

UANTriops are also called Triops Longicaudatus. The name Triops refers to the appearance of three eyes and longicaudatus refers to the elongated tail structures.

Fossil Record

Triops is a fresh water crustacean. They are considered living fossil, with a fossil record that reaches back to 200 million years ago. They were found in rocks of Carboniferous age and they have hardly changed since the Jurassic period. Triops is one of the oldest animal species still in existence.

Life Cycle

Triops eggs enter a state of extended diapause when dry. The eggs will break the dormancy when water is absorbed. After hatching, Triops grow quickly to their adult length of one to three inches. They often double in size daily! How large they grow depends on the space, water quality, and food they receive. Triops have a relatively short life span of 20 to 90 days.

Characteristics

It is fun to observe UANTriops performing the amazing acrobatic and upside-down swimming. They obtain oxygen from the water through their legs. A healthy adult Triops often swims on its back to sweep food into its mouth by using its many legs (approx. 72 pairs of legs). A bright red color chest is the healthy sign for UANTriops.

UANTriops grows by shedding its exoskeleton, the entire external skeleton that supports and protects its body. In approximately eight days, UANTriops will reach maturity.

Millions of kids have experienced this unique experiment to bring a prehistoric living fossil back to life. Just add water to UANTriops eggs that are in diapause dormancy, you can watch it grow from larva to adulthood the entire life cycle right before your very own eyes just in a few days.
