    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!

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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?

    • @brooklynrobotworks9866
      @brooklynrobotworks9866 3 роки тому +245

      @@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.

      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.

      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

It's a level of behavioral sophistication that I didn't expect from a crustacean.

    I watched your video of getting a lobster from the grocery store and found that so fascinating and how you’ve taken good care of him and having his claws working again.
    and he seem to like all the different variety of food you gave him and seems like he’s been a great pet for you and did you decide to give him the larger tank and it’s so nice that you’ve taken good care of Leon

    I love all the little developments, like him slowly getting his claws to work again bit by bit, but honestly I think the most heartening thing about this was just that initial moment where he'd been completely disinterested in his surroundings and events when he was in the box getting his bands snipped off or when you first picked him up, but then his antennae shot up and he stretched his legs out when he realized he was going into new water.

    I had a pet crawfish when I was younger. Her name was Trippi. She grew quite large in the 6 years I had her. About 7-8 inches. She was so fascinating to watch. All my friends and family members found her so fascinating and I was so happy to have such a unique companion. She gave me quite a few scares on multiple occasions. Trippi liked to reorganize the tank using brute force and occasionally would try to escape…sometimes successfully. I never saw it happen but she would have had to have made about 4ft plummet to the carpet with each escape since there was nothing to grab on the outside of the tank. Sometimes hiding under my bed and in the hallway till I found her.
    I remember the first time she moulted…you can imagine how much this scared a kid who had no idea what moulting was at the time. She always devoured the moulted shell over the next week or so which I just found to be so incredibly intriguing. It really felt like Trippi had a unique personality given her interesting behaviour.
    Unfortunately, I lost Trippi on the last day of school in Grade 6. I was devastated. However, I continue to tell people about Trippi whenever the topic of pets comes up in conversation. Believe it or not, telling a certain someone about Trippi is what led to their initial interest in me and was technically one of our first true conversations. That person is now my girlfriend.
    So Trippi, thank you! Thank you for being truly one of the coolest pets and one of the best wingmen out there. I love you and I miss you😊❤️

    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.

    This showed up on my home page today. I first watched this 2 years ago and have watched every single video of Leon since.
    It's a true testament to your care and curiosity to see how he's thrived under your protection, Brady! It also showcases a bit of Leon's personality before any of us could recognize it. He's a little stubborn, likes it how he likes it and isn't willing to go quietly into the night.
    I had never watched this since the first time I'd seen it 2 years ago and it is WILD to see how crippled and unhealthy he was in this video! He's come a LONG way.
    What a big handsome boy he's become today! WELL DONE BRADY!

    Like a fellow scuba diver said in the comments, I’ve always seem them backed into a crescent or cave to protect their tails, and usually when I get near one it just backs in and hides.
    Leon might feel alittle naked and exposed there maybe some kind of cover or rock would be nice, but he already seems way more happier than he was at the store.

    I very much appreciated this video! As a kid I used to get the little crawdad's from under the flat rocks at the lake our town was named after.
    I'd take them home & grow them up. We would put them in the nearby ponds to control algae & bugs.
    They also had feline-like personalities & would eventuality take angle worms from the hand.
    I was surprised when one spring after over wintering in the basement they spawned!
    Where so many we had to find other ponds to release them into.
    I've ALWAYS wanted to try lobsters but we are a long way from saltwater & back then the only place that had the setups were in the biger cities a long ways away & very expensive.

Same thing if its a farm/hatchery raised lobster. You never, EVER want to release an animal anywhere if you don't know where it's from.

      That's a beautiful feeling my brother. I think we are made to move forward, and if we're feeling hunger we will dispatch and eat whatever we can get our hands on. But us, living in this sophisticated wellness society can understand we don't really need to take a life to fill our bellies. I guess it's much easier to just avoid thinking about it and let the butcher or the chef do the dirty work for us. I guarantee you most people won't feel the urge to eat a beast if they have to kill them themselves. Unless we're really hungry. Then you'd kill a whale lol.
