Lobsters

Lobsters live in the muck and mud of the deep.  Lobster claws are so strong that they can break a man’s hand!  They also shed their shells or molt.  Their eggs are called roe.  They sometimes are bright blue!  Lobsters eat clams, sea snails, and crabs.  As a small lobster, what eats you are fish, such as wolffish.  When you are a big lobster, your main predators are people.  Some fun facts are that lobsters can age up to one hundred years!  They were considered poor men’s food back in colonial times, and kings and queens would not eat them.

    I never knew lobsters could live to 100! Every summer we eat lobster at our family reunion. They sure are yummy!
