Dino Pet – the lamp you can love

Dino Pet

Bioluminescence is a natural occurring phenomenon that happens in oceans around the world. You can bring that same wonder and majesty into your home in the form of the Dino Pet. It’s a like a lamp that you have to take care of.

The Dino Pet is a dinosaur shaped aquarium filled with bioluminescent dinoflagellates. Which are tiny microorganisms that glow. Much better than having a tank filled with sea monkeys. They don’t glow. The dinoflagellates survive by photosynthesis. During the day, they need sunlight (and a little love can’t hurt) but at night, after the sun goes down, they glow a bright blue.

Dino Pet at rest

This little statue is filled with living organisms so time in shipping is of the essence. Apparently the little guys get a little upset during the shipping time and may not glow right away. They also glow on the time frame they are used to and will only shift to meet your night time after a period of getting used to things. Really, it’s a lot like having a pet. The Dino Pet is $59.95.
