What's cooler than growing your own plankton at home? Growing GLOWING plankton! That's what you can do when you own a DinoPet from BioPop. The ingenious people at this company have figured out how to bring a small, magical part of the ocean into your home.
There's probably no easier pet than the DinoPet. Seriously. I was a little afraid of it at first, wondering if I could keep it alive. I have fish and dogs, and somehow I do manage to feed myself, so I have no idea why I was nervous about my DinoPet. But I needn't have worried. Simply add DinoFood (also from BioPop) and your dino should live forever if you keep it in a bright spot and don't overheat or over-chill it.
At its essence, the DinoPet is a study, plastic, adorable dinosaur that's filled with a clear, hazy liquid. At night, when you take it into a dark room and shake it, the liquid glows a shimmery blue. It's beautiful.
This is a great novelty gift for the person who "has everything," and most especially for a child or teenager who is into science. It's also great for someone who is allergic to most pets, can't have a pet due to apartment rules, or is too irresponsible to have a hermit crab. The DinoPet is EASY. I'm really charmed by my DinoPet. I keep him near a window in indirect sunlight, and he has gotten brighter week after week. Paws up for DinoPet!

From the BioPop Website:
The Dino Pet is a living, interactive 'pet' that photosynthesizes during the day and glows brilliantly when you play with it at night. The alluring blue glow emitted by the Dino Pet is bioluminescence, made from microscopic sea life called dinoflagellates.
By using sunlight, water and nutrients, instead of batteries or electricity, the Dino Pet allows you to hold one of nature's most magical occurrences in the palm of your hand. Every year, thousands of people travel the world to experience the magic of bioluminescence in nature. The Dino Pet lets you bring this beautiful phenomenon into the comfort of your own home, and enjoy it night after night.
Far more than a toy, the Dino Pet is a contemporary living art piece, introductory pet, biological magic trick, conversation starter and science lesson that instills a sense of wonder in people of all ages.
