Some Interesting Facts About Spiny Lobsters
- Spiny lobsters have two large antennae. They are used for fighting and defense, and two smaller antennules, which are sensory organs that can detect chemicals and movement in the water.
- Spiny lobsters reproduce in summer. Females carry bright orange eggs on the underside of the tail.
