Product Description
This Lobster, 12" figure includes hand painted features to give it realistic details that are true to natural anatomy. This figure is considered a museum quality replica. Highest Quality Natural Rubber.
The lobster has a rigid, segmented body covering and five pairs of legs, one or more pairs of which are often modified into pincers with the chela on one side usually larger than that on the other. Lobsters have compound eyes on movable stalks, two pairs of long antennae, and several pairs of swimming legs (swimmerets) on the elongated abdomen. A flipper-like muscular tail is used for swimming; flexure of the tail and abdomen propel the animal backward.
The Eastern Rock Lobster is the largest spiny lobster in the world and can grow to over 15 kg. The Eastern Rock Lobster lives in coastal waters and oceans to a depth of 200 m. The Eastern Rock Lobster is found in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. Also New Zealand. After mating, female Eastern Rock Lobsters carry hundreds of thousands of tiny orange eggs under their tail by fine hairs. The eggs hatch after about six months and, like most baby crustaceans, the juveniles look nothing like their parents. They go through a succession of molts before they reach the adult form, usually migrating to shallow waters in large numbers during the process. It is thought that the Eastern Rock Lobster lives for 20 years. The Eastern Rock Lobster is highly sought after by both recreational and commercial fishers. It is mostly caught in traps, and both commercial and recreational fishers must adhere to quotas and size restrictions, to give the lobsters a chance to breed before being caught.
