If desperate for food, lobster will eat another of its kind. Because of their natural cannibalistic nature, lobsters which are caught have their claws banded together. Most types of lobster live on the rocky ocean floor, where they can easily hide from predators by slipping into the spaces between rocks. Adult lobsters have few predators. Humans, bottom dwelling fishes, eels and seals are the lobster's primary threat.
Most lobsters prefer to live by themselves, and are known to be aggressive and territorial.
NO species of lobster is red in color. The red color of the lobster shell only appears after being immersed in hot water. Scientists now believe that lobsters do very little thinking and feel almost no pain. THE LIFE SPAN of the lobster is typically 15 years, though many lobster live to be as old as 50. THE American lobster is known by many different names including The Maine lobster, the Massachusetts lobster, and the North Atlantic lobster.
