Lobster - interesting facts and information
- Body structure: The lobster has a large body covered with hard carapace, two large pincers, long feelers and many legs. The size of a lobster can vary depending on the species, but some can grow to over a meter in length.
- Diet: Lobsters are omnivorous and their diet consists of mollusks, other crustaceans, worms, as well as plants and dead animals.
- Reproduction: Lobsters are known for their unique reproductive process, which includes steaming, laying eggs and long-term care by the female. After hatching, young lobsters go through many stages of development before they become adults.
- Life expectancy: Lobsters are known for their longevity and some species can live for over 100 years.
- Status: Lobsters are commercially fished around the world for their meat, which is considered a delicacy. Although some species are still common, intensive fishing can affect the populations of some lobster species.
- Curiosity: When a lobster grows, it must shed its old carapace and produce new one, a process called moulting. During this process, the lobster is particularly vulnerable to attacks from predators.
It should be noted that although lobsters are known for their distinctive blue color, this is the result of specific environmental and genetic conditions. In fact, most lobsters are brown or greenish, and blue lobsters are rare.
