@@Susietravels He couldn’t go back to the sea and survive, and if he did, he would likely be caught again without Brady being there to rescue him this time. I think trying to put him back now would seal his fate. In the wild, lobsters are solitary beings, only coming together to mate. They are very territorial, and males will fight to defend that territory. The male will guard his mate through her gestation, but once that is finished they go their separate ways. I expect Leon will remain a solitary bachelor, with shrimps and crabs to amuse him between playtime with Brady, eating, and terraforming his mansion…and will continue to captivate his fans for a long time to come.🖤🇨🇦

I followed since the first video last year. Given how long lobsters can live, I'm intrigued to see how big he will grow over the years. I hope that in decades to come, Leon will still be growing strong, perhaps bequeathed to an aquarium one day so he can gain a new generation of fans.

Most important though: how something as unsuspecting as this would help my father and me bond so well! We watched most of your videos over a few evenings, but not all. A few weeks later, he lamented at how much he enjoyed that time spent and was wondering how Leon was holding up. We have plans to keep watching the rest soon over the holidays.

I think all animals are much smarter than we think.

He recognizes people, and my mom is one of his favorites. When he hears her, he stands on his hind legs at the front of the tank and waves his arms around. And that’s just my axolotl, I can’t even begin to explain how smart my cats are.

I was down in georgia for work earlier in December and thought about leon while I was in Savannah. Happy to see he's doing well.

Leon is looking good! And I love seeing him redecorating! Absolutely love everything!🤍

You don't know what seeing Leon be so happy and we'll cared for means to me. I was this kid who always cried seeing the lobsters in the store knowing that they al would be eaten. To see him get the life he actually deserves melts my heart.

Ditto!

You really gave Leon a new lease on life. It has been wonderful watching him thrive!

We've been watching since Leon's initial RESCUE. THANK YOU, Brady

I found that brushing each cat with the same brush helps to break their anxiety to one another. You are introducing them by mixing each cats smell to the other through their hair.

Leon's become quite a majestic regal looking creature. He's clearly thriving in his new home!

Was he born in the Atlantic Ocean?

Leon appears to be happy loving his new home. You’ve done a great job caring for him. Love watching your videos from - your commentary, music you’ve selected and most importantly following the journey of LEON. ❤❤❤. Watching this is so refreshing to the crap out there on KZread

From plain ol' Grocery Lobster, to a very awesome Love-Ster, well done! Leon has been very active and satisfied from the time you cut him loose :3 cheers

That shrimp bit moving around ,seemingly on it's own, was a big surprise! I love that those little crabs survive and thrive in Leon's world. I also like Leon's theme music; it's good vibes.

The new tank looks fantastic!

Thank you for this update!

I came upon Leon by accident. I've followed ever since that first video. How wonderful that you rescued this lobster and gave him a home!!

This lobster is a part of my life now. I have no regrets.

I live for these silly Lobster updates

Thanks for sharing Leon with us!

Thanks for updating

I wonder if Leon has any idea you saved him from someone's dinner plate. He's definitely living his best life and the little crabs 🦀 must be keeping him company as well. I ❤️ Leon!

Next time Leon molts, would you think of preserving the shell in a resin mold & either auction it for fund-raising or donate it to a local school for biology lessons?

I think this would be a wonderful idea. I would love to see the process of this being done also. I love watching Leon, he has grown up so healthy and so handsome. Love his new home too. And as everyone says you are a great story teller and have a great voice. Watching Leon in his new tank with his baby shrimp and crabs is so much fun watching too. Have fun ever thought of getting Leon an algae eater? Also I forgot to ask do your cat ever jump on top of Leon's tank just to watch him and his friends now? And if they do I hope it is strong enough so they don't fall in. Cats have to explore and be everywhere. Great and wonderful video. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️🤗🦞🦐🦀🐈🐈‍⬛

Fantastic idea!

Leon definitely lucked out with you. Watching from Somerset England , so amazed that a lobster can warm so many hearts.

Keep the updates coming, we love following Leon.

In the wild, lobsters usually prefer long narrow cracks in the rock or burrow down under rocks to protect their underbelly from attack while leaving their claws and antenna free to assess or defend from what's going on around them. I was wondering if, to make Leon even more comfortable, you might consider constructing a faux- cave for him, just large enough to back his tail into into - maybe by cementing three large rocks together (using non-toxic cement) and placing them in his favourite corner the next time you have to take him out to clean the tank. It would probably stop him trying to dig his way beneath everything and hiding behind a long pile of sand. Lovely clear camerawork, thank you.

Hey, Brady, love the videos as always. I just wanted to say your cinematography in this particular video was very pleasant to look at and well presented. You managed to capture a lot of cool stuff

Yes I was thinking the same thing!

Leon looks happy and content ☺️ Love his personality, he is interactive with you, likes to organize, is a planner, and loves his space! 🥰

How cute! Thoroughly enjoying this, thank you so much!💜

I can't tell you how stoked I am that you've gotten him some shrimp! I remember on day one I was saying SHRIMP SHRIMP SHRIMP they'll be great tankmates! They'll bring him SO much enrichment and he'll only be able to catch one if it's ill, or molting low to the ground. I just love keeping shrimp, they are so entertaining and awesome tank janitors! I wish you both happy shrimp births!

Gosh. Such a beautiful creature, sentient, aware, alive. How can we ignore all of that just for a meal? Thank you so much for being you. You have something this world desperately needs; kindness. Thank you sir.

Thank you for bringing all of us along on this amazing journey with Leon!

Such a smile you nd leon bring! Thank u for your kindness!

Leon has to be one of the luckiest crustacean out there, really makes you wonder if theres any of them out there

It is amazing how different he looks from when you got him. The numbers of colours on him now and healthy he looks. I swear you can see a more happy face on him compared to when you brough him home.

Thanks for all you do, Brady.

These videos have been so much fun to watch!

Can't wait to watch this! I love Leon updates! ✌🇨🇦🦂❤ It's so nice to see Leon doing so great. He looks very happy and content with his life. The new setup with the glass shrimp and tiny crabs seems to be working well. Take care and thanks for the journey so far. ✌🇨🇦😎👍💯

I’m amazed at how well you have kept Leon, from how to feed him to getting larger and larger aquariums. He really is pretty, in a lobsterish way. Pretty colors. He’s like a prince.

Thank you sooooo much for this rescue, you are a hero, it’s so nice to see Leon happy ❤

Leon has gotten so beautiful!! His new home or rather McMansion has benefited him. He knows that he's safe and loved.

I am so pleased for Leon. The recognition and admiration you have built for Leon will help all the forgotten sea life formally seen as only food with no intelligence, feelings, or ability to communicate with people. Your patience and research have added so much to my and many others understanding of sea life. Thank you so much for all your work.

Brady and Leon have shown the beauty, mystery and sanctity of ALL LIFE. Every living thing has a place, and a right, to be in this world and thanks to Brady and Leon, more people will understand that basic, inviolate precept. Great message to the world, Brady!
