    Hello Brady - I'm a marine biologist. Loved your video! You can tell a male from a female from the first set of pleopods or swimmerets. On the male, the first pair are hard and large. On the female, they are small and flimsy. Leon (or Leona) almost looks a bit like he / she is approaching molt. I see that from the dark / bluish tinge I see around the knuckles. That is not the best identifier. If I could look at one of his / her pleopods under a scope, I'd be able to tell with 100% certainty. Also, lobsters LOVE to hide in cracks, crevices, holes, etc. If you got him / her something he could hide in, he'd love that. When he does prepare to molt, he'll flop on his side and appear like he's dieing. Don't sweat it. Sit back and enjoy the show!

    You can also tell by their claws and tail, males have a large crusher claw that’s more rounded while females have a small crusher claw. And females have a wide tail, while males have a thinner tail. Also you don’t need to look at their swimmerets through a scope to tell if they’re male or female, it’s very easy to tell with the naked eye. So the guy in the video should easily be able to tell!

    @@solarr5143 Neither claws nor tail are a great indicator of gender for lobsters as they can vary across age range and within the population. Looking at the pleopods will guarantee correct identification. Please note Solarr that I was referring to determining molt stage when I mentioned looking at pleopods under the scope NOT gender identification.

    That's a nice thought, but lobsters are antisocial and naturally aggressive toward each other. That's why retailers put rubber bands on their claws when they're sold as food. For the same reason, it's not really safe to keep more than one lobster in an aquarium.

    This one time there was a crazy storm where i live, me and my sister and parents were taking a walk outside by the beach after the storm and we noticed a whole bunch of sea creatures had been thrown up onto the land in the storm. All the fish were dead from being out of the water overnight, but all the crabs and baby octopuses were still alive! Me and my family immediately got to work as fast as we could, putting every living creature we could find back into the ocean as some of them seemed too weak to make it back there themselves. We eneded up finding a few lobsters too, there was this one big blue lobster that my sister picked up, she was at first scared of its huge claws but after she went to it, it crawled onto her arm and didnt try to attack her. I never knew before how incredibly gentle these animals could be, the lobster seemed to know we were trying to help it, and it felt good seeing it crawl away into the sea. We saved a lot of sea creatures that day, it makes me all the more sad whenever i see these animals being mistreated in the sea food industry

    I know it's a lobster, and probably not on the same level as a dog or cat, but he genuinely looked bummed out in the box. Almost like he knew his time had run out. The change in behavior and the association of your presence with feeding was so cute. He seemed super happy keeping busy in his tank. They live a pretty long time in the wild if they avoid predators so mayby this would be a good pet. I'm glad he's happy and healthy

    I think any creature with enough cognition to like, experience any sensation at all, probably doesn't feel good about being taken completely out of its normal environment, presumably fed terribly if at all, and then kept in a tiny box. I don't mind eating lobster, but this way of doing it seems absolutely terrible.. They should keep them in a proper big tank with enrichment, then take them out and kill them quickly when someone buys them.

    To be fair, having a pet is not about how much it can give to you but how much you wanna give to it. I have dogs, they amazing, but I also have plants, and I love to take care of them, see them grow, bloom, etc.. They do almost nothing but I feel very attached to them just like my dogs, if one of them starts dieing, or get sick I get sad. Anything can be a pet, you just gotta enjoy taking care of it.

    @@CabezasDePescado I think that's true, and I wonder about lobsters, because they don't exactly have brains. They're very similar to insects in that you can get stimulus and response, but they have one of the most primitive brains of any living creature out there. To the point that you can't really call them brains. They're closer to meat robots than they are to vertebrates like mice and rats. They don't really have the ability to feel pain. But empathy is a human superpower, so we're able to project how we would feel onto a creature who can't. And I think that's pretty cool. Because it means that we as a species are able to ask questions about how we ought to treat others. And that's important considering the fact that we've terraformed this planet to feed ourselves and create ecosystems simply by existing. Considering the needs of the life around us is something we need to do more often, and not just in the way we feed ourselves, but in things like urban planning and other areas.

    While I generally refrain from flowery language, I do agree with you. It is an immutable fact of our universe that the vast majority of life has to consume other life in order to continue living. But we are among the few species of animals that have evolved the capacity for empathy, compassion and mercy, which is a prerequisite for co-operation - the undisputed foundation of our success as a species. So we should cherish this ability, and use it where we can, because it makes us more human.

    As a scuba diver, I've seen wild Lobsters in the Ocean. They actually swim backwards faster than a human can swim forwards. They flap their powerful tail to soar through the water. They keep swimming backwards until they've landed in a cave-like spot between big rocks so their back is protected by the cave and they can defend their front with their large pinchers. Leon needs a hiding place where he can feel safe. This is probably why you find him backed into a corner.

    I’m 70 and at one time, living in Jacksonville, FL, I started a small brackish tank with just some red claw crabs I bought at the pet store. I’ve always been happy with fish, much happier with the tiny shrimp…but crabs? Man, I just love those little crabs!! We moved to Alabama so I had to set them free but I live just down the road from Mobile Bay so I’m really jonesing for some fiddlers in a little partial salt tank with lots of sand for them to dig in. I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your most recent video of Leon so I’ve gone to the beginning and will watch them all. Thanks so much!!

    It's male, females have a broader tail underneath for sake of carrying large clutches of eggs. Don't worry too much about what you feed them either, even if it's rotten, lobsters tend not to be too fussy on how fresh their food is, unlike crab, lobsters will even eat crab too actually. If he casts/molts his shell at any point don't worry about removing it from the tank as he'll likely eat it too, which is pretty common for lobsters to do as it helps with nutrients to build up and harden the new shell they're growning. I'm an ex-crab/lobster fisherman so have seen plenty of them and their habits.

    Thanks for sharing. I have been successfully keeping American Lobsters for eighteen months, so some quick tips for anyone else attempting this: it is critical that you get them from the store and into the tank as quickly as possible, as their gills and exoskeletons will be damaged if they dry out. Salinity of 32 PPT (ref the Gulf of Maine); PH of 8.2 to 8.35; temps bet. 54 F - 61F. Temperature is critical as they are cold water animals. Above 64 F, their metabolism increases: during summer, the Gulf of Maine's temps max at 61F, so my 'yellow zone' is 62 - 67 and my 'red zone' is 68 - 72 (can be transitory). Their 'death zone' is above 72 F. As Brady stated, add calcium, minerals and iodine or they'll end up with shell-wasting disease. It is critical to have lots of gravel in the tank: this will help w keeping the water cold and will give them something to do. They are master-manipulators of their environment and must be able to move the gravel around to create berms & craters. No decorations in the tank, whatsoever...they will get destroyed. Don't feed clams, as they wreck the tank's water. No live fish, either. Feed only saltwater creatures like shrimp and Atlantic Ocean fish. Lobsters are highly intelligent and moody, like octopuses. I routinely have interactions with my lobsters that are startling and jaw-dropping, including mimicking, cooperative effort and reciprocity. They are fascinating.

    Interesting! Thanks for the tips! Just wondering, I remember that the reason why stores rubber band the claws because they will attack each other if they don't. Is it a normal behaviour? Or is it due to being trapped in an uncomfortable way for so long? Ie. If you rescued two, can they be rehabilitated and live happily together? Also... you said 18 months. Is that their normal life span?

    @@TheEDFLegacy Lobsters are very territorial, solitary creatures. They would fight each other, often to the death. Their claws ae banded so they don't injure each other and become unsellable. Also, holding tanks keep them at very cold temps, putting them in a state where they aren't active and don't need to eat. Lobsters don't age like other animals, and no one really knows how long one can live, though biologists estimate they will live 50-65 years in the wild before dying from predation, injury, infection or a rough molting. In theory, they could live beyond a century. No one knows. A 1 & 1/4 lb lobster is about seven years old, BTW.

    I had a blue crayfish for a while. He exhibited very similar behavior. I'd arrange the small rocks and things in his tank, and by morning, he'd have re-arranged most of them. In fact, he seemed to have a preferred place where he wanted things. He'd push all the rocks and things to the same spot every time, no matter where I put them. It's a level of behavioral sophistication that I didn't expect from a crustacean. I've found that many of the creatures around us have more complexity than we often give them credit for, and seeing it just requires us to pay attention for long enough.

    I've kept a lobster and watched it shed its skin, I had a spare 5ft 100 gallon salt water tank that I'd previously used for tempeterate salt water things, like sea animonies that were fun to feed shrimp too and watch as they shoot off little mini anemonies that'd cling to even the side of the tank and grow there, also had star fish that could be hand fed. So decided when I broke this tank down to use purely for a lobster, but kept a few slug type critters, that'd hide until the tank needed cleaning, then they'd appear from in the crevices of ocean rock and start moving around on the glass. This isn't a hobby for anyone and understanding the salt water column, nitrate and nitrite levels etc plus good filtration, maintaining good levels of bacteria are all important when creating a set up. It's something that nature in the wild takes care of on its own

    Lobsters are interesting because they don't deteriorate with age like most other animals. Telomeres on DNA are like the plastic tips on shoelaces. As you get older and your DNA is replicated over and over, the telomeres wear down and your DNA begins to have errors as its replicated, causing deterioration, cancer, etc. Lobsters constantly repair their telomeres, and typically only die due to predation, or become too large to successfully molt, and die during the process.

  • @n3twork727
    @n3twork7272 жыл бұрын

    Can't wait to see a Leon update. Just an FYI, you should setup some rocks in the tank that he can burrow under. Not having a burrow could cause him to refuse to molt, also if he does molt he can repair any damage caused to his claws by the rubber bands (lobsters can actually regrow limbs via molting). I'm on the east coast of Canada where a lot of studies are done on lobsters because they are such a big part of fishing industry. Side note: lobsters are almost immortal they do not tend to die of old age but rather due to a bad molting process as they grow older. They really are pretty interesting animals.

    He needs a cave to hide in. That's why he's doing the "yoga" thing against the side of the tank. He'll feel more secure if he has a cave to back into. Otherwise, great job, and great video!

    Is true! When you see them in the wild you find them living inside the whole of the rocks or under the coral. They need to hide themselves.

    On one hand, I know intellectually that pretty much every creature is far more complex than humans generally give them credit for. But on the other hand, I was STILL surprised by Leon purposely making a home out of his tank. Keeping it clean, moving unwanted things out of the way, etc. That was amazing.

    I had pet rats a few years ago and it was incredibly fascinating. Most creatures have a desire for their surroundings to be comfortable and pleasing and they’re all unique and have their own desires. There is no “collective” lobster or rat, and spending time with an individual animal is insightful for teaching us that. If one rat moved the other’s set-up, a fight would surely ensue - or they would become annoyed with each other, which eventually could be identified in their body language and facial expressions alone. Sometimes this annoyance would transfer in their grooming behaviours, like a mother agressively fixing up her kid’s hair. It wasn’t pure aggression, there was love and a whole other range of complex emotions, and the same ones we possess… truly the most hillarious, beautiful thing. I don’t think it’s necessarily intelligence that we value and recognize in other things foresmostly, but sociality. God bless

    @Sunfeld Jiramhir No doubt lobsters think differently than you or I, but to make the assertion that everything you do is learned and 100% conscious behavior is pretty wild. Other living beings aren't THAT different from us.
