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. If a lobster fears for his life or has an injured limb or claw, it is able to shed the limb and regenerate the body part. Food is actually chewed in the stomach and not the mouth. Using their antennae on the front of their heads, lobsters are capable of sniffing out both dinner and danger.
