Sea-Monkeys are claimed by the manufacturer to be a hybrid version of brine shrimp - a group of crustaceans that undergo cryptobiosis. Sea Monkeys are scientifically classified Artemia salina. Sea Monkeys are sold in hatching kits as novelty aquarium pets. Developed in the United States in 1957, by Harold von Braunhut, the product was heavily marketed, especially in comic books, and remains a presence in popular culture. Sea-Monkeys were intensely marketed in comic books throughout the 1960s and early 1970s using illustrations by the comic-book illustrator Joe Orlando. These showed humanoid animals that bear no resemblance to the crustaceans. Many purchasers were disappointed by the dissimilarity and by the short lifespan of the animals. Von Braunhut is quoted as stating: "I think I bought something like 3.2 million pages of comic book advertising a year. It worked beautifully." -wikipedia
