Toyops Deluxe Triops

What exactly are Triops? -- Triops are crustaceans that can be traced back to prehistoric times. Triops are brightly colored due to haemoglobin in the blood and pigment in their connective tissue. These three-eyed creatures grow up to 3 inches in length in their 20-90 day life span, sometimes doubling in size in a single day! Very resourceful, they obtain oxygen from the water through their feet and sometimes swim on their backs, sweeping food into their mouths using their many gill feet.
