Did you know that the biggest lobsters on record are 3 1/2 to 4 feet long?
Or that crabs are considered to be excellent “team-workers,” acting together to find food and protect each other?
But what’s even
more fascinating about these marine animals and other crustaceans is that, according to new research, not only are they capable of feeling pain, it’s been shown that they actively try to avoid it. So much so, in fact, that in one study, crabs were
willing to leave a preferred shelter in order to escape potential suffering.
