What do lobsters eat? Lobsters usually move around and hunt for food at night. It was once thought that lobsters were scavengers and ate primarily dead things. However, researchers have discovered that lobsters catch mainly fresh food (except for bait), which includes fish, crabs, mussels, sea urchins, and sometimes even other lobsters!
When do lobsters mate? A female lobster mates primarily after she has shed her shell (molted). Female lobsters can carry live sperm for up to two years. At any time she may decide to fertilize her 3,000–75,000 eggs.
Can lobsters grow new legs? Yes. Lobsters have the ability to regenerate some of their body parts, for example, the claws, walking legs, and antennae.
