“It’s a known fact that Lobster’s fall in love and mate for life” ~~Phoebe Buffay
UPDATE: They definitely do NOT. This is a myth originating from an episode of “Friends” in which Phoebe says Ross is Rachel’s “lobster.” Lobsters do have a very tender mating ritual, in which the female is very vulnerable after shedding her exoskeleton, but after the deed is done she leaves and they never see each other again, and in fact, the male (usually being the alpha and dominant male in the area) will go on to mate with almost every other female in the area.
Which makes male lobsters very annoying
ZOINKS!
