What exactly is a seamonkey?

Answer 1

Sea-Monkeys are a true miracle of nature. They exist in suspended animation inside their tiny eggs for many years. The instant-life crystals, in which the eggs are enclosed, preserve their viability and help to extend still further their un-hatched life span! Sea-Monkeys are real Time-Travelers asleep in biological time capsules for their strange journey into the future!
The joy of watching Sea-Monkeys grow offers a lot more than just pure fun. It is one of the outstanding educational experiences of a lifetime, because the entire life-cycle of these unique creatures are fully recreated. Conceived in 1960 as a biological novelty, the “fantasy” has transformed into brilliant reality.

Answer 2

They are Fairy Brine Shrimp. They are a rip off really because they are essentially feeder shrimp for bigger fish sold as a pet.

Here's a wikpedia quote:

Sea-Monkey is a brand name of a hybrid of Artemia salina, a species of brine shrimp.These are a type of fairy shrimp — not true shrimp, but a branchiopod. The term Sea-Monkeys (sometimes unhyphenated) is a trademark used to sell them as a novelty gift. They originate in salt lakes and salt evaporation flats.

Sea-Monkeys can reproduce both sexually (requiring a male and a female) and asexually. When the eggs are laid, there are fewer males than females per "litter". This is probably because they are not needed for reproduction. Females stop reproducing with the males when the males are too few.

Sea-Monkeys have been cited in studies of DNA and sexual behavior, primarily because they are commonly available specimens.

Answer 6

A sea monkey is a very rare amphibious primate known to dwell in the waters of the great lakes. They are generally only seen at night when they come ashore to feed on what ever comes into their line of sight. (thus the limited info available on them.) They also enjoy unborn virgin goats milk with their meals. I've had one for a pet for 2 years now, they are highly intelligent, on the level of a dog or our president, George W. Like most monkeys however they are adept poop chuckers so keep your head low. Good luck with your monkey and remember spanking it is the only way to keep it in line. Sheesh I have way too much time on my hands...........
