What Are Sea Monkeys?
4. Breathe Through Their Feet
Many different species of animal breathe air through noses at the front of their face. This makes a lot of sense because their noses are then pointed to where they are looking, helping them to detect the smell of predators or food. Many marine creatures will breathe through their gills, and they also have separate organs that help them to smell under the water.
Sea monkeys are quite different, however, as they actually breathe through their feet. This is where their gills are located, and they have evolved this way because it helps them survive in water with a lot of salt.
