Learning About Lobsters - Science Experiment with Rus

Hi. I'm Rus. This week we bought a lobster for an experiment. There's more to lobsters than you think like did you know that the largest lobster was 3 and a half feet! And the biggest lobster was 44 pounds! And the most amazing lobsters can live too be a hundred years old! Now that's one cool animal. A lobster is not a boring creature. A female lobster will carry 100 thousand eggs inside her for a whole year! To tell the difference between a male and a female you will see that the swimmerets on a male lobster are bigger than the females. You will find them on the tale. What is that you ask? What do the swimmerets do. What else, swim. Also did you know lobsters have compound eyes. Compound eyes make the lobster see lots of you if it is staring at you. Okay now get ready for this lobsters have teeth in there stomach. Imaging chewing in your stomach. Like I told you lobsters are not boring creatures.

The bottom of the lobster...

 ...and the top.

 Lobster dipped in butter: yum!

 Tert got a huge kick out of the fact that in restaurants people eat lobster with bibs.
