Lobster Moulting and Self Cannibalism
Friday, January 4th, 2008Lobster has to be one of my favorite creatures to devour. Boil ‘em. Grill ‘em. I don’t care. I love it!
It turns out they feel the same way about their tasty flesh. Once a lobster has gone through a moulting process, shedding of its shell, a five hour long process, it feasts on the shell’s fleshy remains. It then buries it, hiding it, fearing predators will assume there is a vulnerable prey in the area.
Sorry. The video only shows the moulting process. Not the self cannibalism… Just take my word for it
