 American Lobster
Scientific name: Homarus americanus
Alternate common names: Northern Lobster, Maine Lobster.
Unique features: large unequal claws, fanned tail
Physical description: The American lobster is a large crustacean with two large, unequal sized claws used for feeding. Swimmerets line the underside of the tail, which fan water around the burrow and help oxygenate water going to the gills. The gender of an American lobster is determined by examining the first pair of swimmerets behind the last pair of walking legs. In females, this pair of swimmerets is soft and feathery, while in the males they are larger and more rigid. The tail of the female is much broader for carrying eggs.
Live American lobsters are usually olive green or greenish brown, though dusky orange and even bright blue lobsters are sometimes found. Diet, heredity, and exposure to light all affect a lobster's color. The major pigment in a lobster's shell, astaxanthin, is actually bright red in its free state; but in the lobster's shell astaxanthin is chemically bound to proteins that change it to a greenish or bluish color.
Behaviour: Their cutting claw has sharp teeth used for tearing prey into smaller pieces, while the heavy crushing claw is used to break the shells of mollusks. Smaller claws on the first two pairs of legs are used to direct food into the mouth and to sift through the mud. The last two pairs of legs are used for walking. Although American lobsters walk rather than swim, they can quickly escape a predator with a flap of the tail, scuttling backward with a quick burst of speed. They are aggressive when fighting over territories and can inflict a painful pinch if aggravated. American lobsters are nocturnal and have highly developed sense organs on their legs to detect food in the absence of light.
Distribution: Canadian waters to South Carolina, Alantic coast.
Habitat: Along rocky ledges in shallow near-shore waters of the Bay. Larger lobsters are found in deeper offshore waters.
Food:American lobsters are scavengers as well as predators, eating just about anything they can find along the bottom of the ocean, including fish, small crustaceans, and mollusks. They are cannibalistic as well and have been known to devour other American lobsters in lobster traps.
Predators: humans, codfish, but other enemies include haddock, flounder, and other lobsters
Intersting Facts:
-Lobsters are able to detach and discard legs or claws by a process called autotonomy. This "self-amputation" can help a lobster to escape a predator's grasp. A lobster may also detach a claw if it is unable to withdraw from its old shell during molting. Autotomized limbs can be regenerated. After the next molt they appear fully formed but smaller than usual, and after sever molts they are full sized.
-Lobsters have two bladders.
-They also have two stomachs.
-While lobsters are generally a olive green-blue color, sometimes the protein, called astaxanthin, has a subunit that causes bizzare colorations that you would think unnatural such as completely blue or yellow, literally half one color and half another, albino, or maybe just a motled color. These photos are some examples: [x] [x]
-It is hard to find the exact age of a lobster since they molt so often, but they commonly live up to 50. It is thought that they can live up to 100.
-They commonly range from 20 cm to 60 cm in length and 0.5 kg to 4 kg in weight, but have been known to reach lengths of well over 1 meter and weigh as much as 20 kg or more, making this the heaviest marine crustacean in the world.
-Lobsters have no teeth, or really its teeth are in its stomach.
-A lobsters brain is the same size of a grasshopper's brain. Scientists now believe that lobsters do very little thinking and feel almost no pain.
-Lobsters are capable of reflux amputation. 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.
-Lobster blood is colorless but becomes blue when exposed to oxygen.
-They taste with their feet just like insects such as the butterfly. Actually they have several taste and smell receptors on their legs and claws aswell as their antenna.

The Friend o'meter is the easy way to tell how much she likes being around each kid. One asterix means he probably hates them or would rather avoid them. Five means Azoc enjoys there company alot and wouldn't mind hanging with them anyday. Bolded asterix means he considers being your friend, the more the closer to being a BF they are.
Raisa- Bright colored girl who knows alot about the weird critters at the beach. *** Medussa- Clear and squishy. Didn't mind being hurt, or didn't care. **** Ala- A fuzzy like her older brother. Knows lots aobut animals. *** Laial- Thinks hes a weird thing or an alien. (PD not finished)
