As ambitious Triops breeders, we know that these fascinating little animals lived about 220 million years ago. It was a time when dinosaurs inhabited the earth and dominated entire ecosystems. When the era of the dinosaurs came to an end due to the mass extinction in the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary<\/a><\/strong>, the Triops survived and are now considered the oldest known living animal species on the planet. Our prehistoric crabs have also been to space, which makes this species even more fascinating. We also know that the name Triops comes from the Greek and means “the three-eyed one”. Tri<\/em> = three and ops<\/em> = eye makes Triops<\/em>, the three-eyed one. But have you ever wondered why Triops have three eyes and what the function of the third eye is?
