National Geographic Kids Magazine: The Fossil Regeneration Unit
The mailer was sent to media buyers across South Africa, when they [the ad space buying people] received the ‘Unit’ the Triops eggs were tiny, miniscule dots in the test tubes, but in one short week they grew into prehistoric-looking creatures almost the length of your thumb! Included in the pack was an interactive CD with a program to track their Triops’ growth and find out the facts about them, as well as the National Geographic Kids rate card and advertising details.

quite an amazing idea, but i guess what is more amazing is the creature...triop eggs can survive temperatures over 80 degrees C, droughts and even freezing. wow!
i am a triops addict, and i want to ask where do i get this exact kit?
it would be nice if you give facts (links) of what you say. Hate people that say "done" to everything
