Triops

Our class also has several other pets, they are called Triops.  Triops are descendents of the Trilobites that lived during prehistoric times.  They are crustaceans (like lobsters and crabs).  Our Triops just hatched this morning and they are too small to be seen with our web camera.  Right now they are translucent and only one centimeter long.  We will post pictures as they get larger.
