Simulated suspended animation biosphere

A simulated confined suspended animation biosphere assembly comprising:

• an outer housing defining a confined interior area therein which is suitable for containing a liquid and including a transparent sidewall portion for viewing said interior area;
• a transparent liquid gel in said interior area for simulating an environmental medium therein said gel comprising a nontoxic inorganic clay colloidal dispersion in water;
• and
• at least one suspendable artificial action component suspended in said gel so that said action component is movable therein, said suspendable action component being adapted to simulate an actual action element which is capable of voluntary, controlled, independent, action movement and which is movably suspendable in a natural environmental medium;
• said gel and said suspendable component being adapted to permit said gel to be safely handled and to permit said suspendable component to be safely movably suspended in a stationary disposition in said gel without floating upwardly or gravitating downwardly therein.
