Here's why:
* They are tiny: Sea monkeys are brine shrimp, and they are incredibly small. You likely wouldn't be able to see them well, and it would be very difficult to handle them without harming them.
* They need water: Sea monkeys live in a specific saline solution and need to be kept in their tank. Taking them out of their environment would quickly kill them.
* They are delicate: These tiny creatures are sensitive to changes in temperature, water quality, and handling. Touching them could easily injure or kill them.
