🦖 Living Fossils🦖

Triops are sometimes considered “living fossils,” since fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago have been attributed to the genus.

It is suggested that Triops evolved during the Triassic or Jurassic periods, between 152-233 million years ago!

😎 Lay Eggs, Die Young!😎

Triops is a genus of crustacean, commonly known as the Tadpole Shrimp.

Triops generally only live for 20-90 days, and lay dormant eggs that last the dry season! 🦀
