This video shows New England Aquarium trainer Erin doing some of the training sessions with the largest lobster at the Aquarium. He weights 24.2 lbs! You can see exactly how she feeds him, how fast he can move his claws if she doesn't hold it and his really great reactions to the hoop target.

  • hbkfitz said:

    i think theyre related to arachnids or that might be crabs

  • lastprodigy said:

    they are. scropions and lobsters both started from the same ancestor. Except one decided to go on land and the other stayed in the sea. Because of the low gravity and higher pressure the lobster grows a thicker harder shell and increases in size
