    It's Not a Video Game, It's Real Life

    It's Not a Video Game, It's Real Life

    We believe exploring the small and unseen helps solve the world's biggest problems.

    A World at Your Fingertips

    Micro Safari Terra is a microbiological habitat - like an ant farm, but for entire eco-systems of microscopic creatures!

    Each slide comes pre-filled with a fresh soil sample, teaming with tens of thousands of microorganisms. Use the included Mobile Microscope to view your little buddies on a phone or tablet, and keep them fed and watered using the corner ports. Watch as they grow, eat each other, reproduce, and respond to changes in their system!
