What are sea monkeys made out of (chemical composition or basic materials)?
A. Sea Monkeys are actual brine shrimp that have been “locked away in time” through a process of “cryptobiosis”. This is a natural occurrence in some crustaceans and Sea Monkeys, in addition to Fairy Shrimp, Brine Shrimp, and Daphnia, are able to seal themselves away in their eggs until the conditions are right for their birth. So, in fact, they are not vegetable or mineral but are, indeed, animals. They are a variety of the Artemia family which are called “Artemia Nyos” (NYOS being an acronym for the New York Ocean Science Laboratories where the Sea Monkeys were created).
