Lobster (fish)

The Lobster is a rare crustacean (or fish) which can be found in the ocean all day between the months of November and February. It is sold for 2,500 Bells. In the 'Bugs and Fish' window in City Folk, it has the description; 'These are the créme de la créme of the shrimp group.' It is suggested that the lobster in Animal Crossing: City Folk is a Maine Lobster.

Further Information
Lobsters are invertebrates and can be found all over the world. They have an exoskeleton which protects them from predators, which they molt in order to grow, making them incredibly vulnerable at this time. They live in rocky areas under the sea, which also helps them to protect themselves from predators. Lobsters come in different forms, clawless and clawed but they all have 10 legs (the claws on clawed lobsters are adapted to be legs). Lobsters can be known to live up to 100 years of age.
