Learn about Lobsters (Learner Post)

Lobsters, are some of the weirdest animals around! They taste with their legs, and they have teeth inside of their stomach. They also, don't have brains! Since the lobsters stomach, is right behind its eyes, the teeth of a lobster are located inside of its stomach. The lobster has 2 main claws, 8 walking legs, a crusher claw, and a pincher claw. The crusher claw, is made to crush objects, and is big and has more muscles. The pincher claw, is longer than the crusher claw, and is used for holding on to things.  The lobster has 8 swimmerets, located on its abdomen. The swimmerets, are like tiny fins below its body, used to swim.

The tail of a lobster, can curl up to its body, and then un-curl back out to its full length. If the lobster does this really fast, it can swim really fast with its tail.  The female lobsters eggs, are located under its abdomen, in-between its swimmerets.  The female lobsters, are the mean lobsters, and will try to kill other lobsters if they get annoyed.  The walking legs are small legs, that the lobster uses to walk, and on the end of each walking leg, is a tiny claw, used to grab stuff, and for defense.  

Lobsters do have nervs, but, lobsters do not feel pain. This part is very interesting; lobsters do have reflex's to what would be considered pain to them. When someone gets hurt, they instantly have a reflex to the pain, whatever it is, but the actual pain is what comes after the reflex when the pain reaches the brain. Since lobsters have no brains, they only have reflex's to pain, but can not actually feel the pain.

If a lobster looses a certain limb, or claw, the lobsters can regenerate them. It usually takes about 5 years for a lobster to regenerate a claw that had been chopped off, but they can do it.
