Discover the mystery of Aqua Dragons! Live aquatic creatures which you will bring to life, hatching them out of their hibernated egg state, by putting them in water. Aqua Dragons look like three-eyed, long-tailed, hairy-headed dragons. They swim and play graciously in their fascinating aquatic underwater world. Care for them and you will see them eat, grow, swim, play and reproduce. Aqua Dragons, or by their scientific name Artemia Salina, have been on Earth since at least 200 million years ago, if not longer. Aqua Dragons’ eggs have an amazing natural capacity called cryptobiosis which allows them to stay alive, but hibernating in a dried state, only to hatch many years later when placed in water. Once the eggs make contact with water they hatch within 48 hours. 45 days after hatching, these small beings can grow up to 2cm long. The Aqua Dragons life cycle project takes around 45-60 days to complete. Hatching and growing Aqua Dragons help children learn important values like caring, for a living creature, being responsible by remembering to feed and care for them, and treating live animals with respect. The project is also highly educational in terms of science, anatomy, biology, marine biology and even history and geography.
