reeflobster vs mantis

I laughed this evening because there was a quick news story on TV about someone who rescued a really large Atlantic lobster from a restaurant and let him go. The news story suggested that the lobster was over 100 years old...but they offered no detail on how the age was determined.

I hope I didn't imply that I had some expertise in lobster aging...I just mentioned that I had "heard" that lobsters can live for a LONG time. ("heard" it again tonight!) Of course, there are likely to be large differences in lifespan between lobster species.

the lifespan of a lobster is directly proportional to its distance from melted butter...

LOL! Watch the Blue Planet: Seasonal Sea's (Iether that or the coral sea one). It says lobsters live 100 plus years.
