The Lobster
Lobsters are fascinating marine creatures that belong to the family of crustaceans, meaning they have a hard protective exoskeleton. Their body colour varies from dark bluish green to reddish brown, and they have long, strong claws - one large and blunt, the other small and sharp. Lobsters can live up to 70 years, grow up to 3 feet long, and incredible fact - they communicate by peeing at each other out of their heads!
