What Are Sea Monkeys?
7. You Won’t Find Them in the Wild
Dogs and housecats have been selectively bred from other species to the point where we have the animals that we all know and love today. You won’t find them in the wild, though, although you will still find many of their ancestors. Sea monkeys are similar in that they too have been selectively bred, and you will not find them in the wild.
The original shrimps did not do well in captivity, with barely any living for more than a month. However, they were bred with Artemia shrimp to make for a sturdier species. The sea monkeys that we know today are able to thrive in captivity and require little care.
