#crabfacts wait no... #lobsterfacts

The largest lobster on record is a whopping 51.5 lbs. Not a lot is known about this specimen though, so here’s a measly 27-pounder for comparison.

These lobsty buddies grow continuously, so size can be a pretty decent indicator of age. Some estimate the largest lobster on record to be well over 100 years old!

But wait, there’s an even bigger lobster.

Any good thread on giant lobsters should include the WORLD’S LARGEST LOBSTER STATUES.

Meet Larry the Lobster, and tell him hi next time you’re in Australia.
