Biology of lobsters

Do all lobsters have claws?

Not all lobsters have claws. Lobsters that live in warmer climates typically do not have claws. Instead they have large antennae. Lobsters in North America or in other colder climates have claws.

What is the life span of a lobster?

A typical lobster is believed to have the ability to live up to 100 years old. For a lobster that lives in colder water or an "American" lobster to be edible it takes 6-7 years for them to grow.

Lobsters eat lots of living things. For instance they eat mussels, fish, crabs, sea urchins and other lobsters.
