Lobsters undergo a growth process known as "molting." In this process, a lobster absorbs extra water, creating internal pressure that results in the splitting of its shell. The lobster subsequently frees itself by shedding its old outer shell, revealing a fresh, pliable exoskeleton. #lobster #molt #shed #crustacean #maine #intresting #unique #perfecttiming #education #commercialfishing #mainer #boat #boatlife #fisherman #lobsterfishing #cool #discover #newengland #ocean | The Downeast Cowboy

Let’s watch the full process of a lobster molting. At first, people thought it would start from the tail, but as time passed, it surprisingly broke free from its head first, completing a rebirth-like transformation—truly breathtaking. Crabs molt too, because their shells are made of chitin, a rigid armor that can’t expand as they grow. When the body reaches its limit, they must shed the shell to keep growing. Surprisingly, a crab sheds all its legs along with the shell, putting on a new “coat” l

Rare footage of a lobster shedding its skin! Seeing a lobster shed (or molt) its shell is apparently quite rare - some of our scientists who study rock lobster have never actually seen it happen. But this weekend they and a crowd at Science Week's Festival of Bright Ideas in Hobart got to see it live. The whole process took about 20-30 minutes. The juvenile lobster puffed itself up with water to break off its old shell, at the same time making its body bigger for its initially soft skin to quick

Our blue lobster gave us quite the Halloween fright this morning! Lobsters molt - meaning they shed their old shell and have a fresh new look, often with bigger claws and repaired appendages. In this case, we did not expect a colour change as well! We will have to wait and see what happens with our red (uncooked) lobster. #mnh #novascotia #halifax #museum #naturalhistory #lobster #blue #red #halloweencostume #Halloween #halifaxnovascotia #halifaxns #novascotia #halifaxlocal #nature #museums #oce

Ripley's Aquarium of Canada on Instagram: "Watch this CLAW-some American lobster molt 🦞 It took just over 20 minutes for this little lobster to shed his old shell! Lobsters grow by shedding their hard exoskeleton to allow a new, larger one to develop. This is a process called “molting”, which involves the lobster taking in excess water to push against their shell from the inside, causing it to split open 💥 Then the lobster extracts themself from the old shell with a new, soft shell as their ex
