3. How do lobsters reproduce?
"Before molting, the female approaches a male’s den and stands outside, releasing her scent in a stream of urine. When he emerges from his den, the two spar briefly, then the female places her claws on his head to let him know she is ready to molt and mate. The male, still hard-shelled and passionate, passes his sperm into her body with a pair of rigid and grooved swimmerets, small appendages normally used for swimming." After a few weeks eggs are produced and the numbers of eggs number anywhere from 3,000-100,000!
4. What is the largest lobster ever caught?
The 27 pound giant was caught off of the coast of Maine. Its size resembled a 3 year old child.
