A New Critter in Our House

February 2, 2020 by Lynn Sholes 4 Comments

Fell in love with the work-of-art a while back. I finally had to buy it. Thank you, Tommy.

Love this man. (And our new lobster)

We also have a large green turtle shell and a small stuffed green turtle from a turtle farm.

 

           Here he is!

 

                                  COOL FACTS ABOUT LOBSTERS

Lobsters are called “bugs” because their nervous system is like those of grasshoppers and ants.

Lobster blood is clear.

A female lobster can only mate after she has molted.

Caribbean lobsters have no claws.

Lobsters usually feed on clams, snails, and crabs.

Lobsters can grow up to four feet long and weigh as much as 40 pounds.

It is believed they can live for 100 years.

Lobsters were once so bountiful that after a storm they would wash up on shore in deep piles.

Lobsters have teeth in their stomachs.

A lobster brain is no larger than the head of a ballpoint pen.

When lobsters mate. the eggs aren’t fertilized right away. The female carries the male’s sperm and chooses when to fertilize her eggs. (How about that, ladies?)

    We met your husband at the WGP last night. We sure appreciate him taking the time to speak with us and answer all our questions. We’ll try to find him again next year on our return trip. We’ll also be checking out your historical books.

    Our trip has been fantastic. This area is right up our alley. Tell Tommy that we saw a pygmy rattler out at the park this afternoon. I’m not sure how common or rare they are out there.

      I think pygmies are fairly common around here. They freak me out, especially with the dog. I will relay you message to Tommy. Come back soon.
