Lobsters tend to be aggressive even towards themselves. If one lobster grabs the claw of another, the latter can escape by releasing its arm from its socket.

Some lobsters have one claw larger than the other due to a phenomenon called bilateral gynandromorphy, where individuals have both male and female characteristics. This can result in one side having a larger claw typical of a male lobster, while the other side has a smaller claw like a female lobster. It is a rare occurrence in crustaceans.

How does a lobster obtain food?

Lobsters ( Homarus americanus) have two claws. One is a crusher claw which it uses to open shellfish such as clams and muscles to get at the tender meat inside. The other claw is a feeder claw or pincher which is more manoeuvrable and it brings the food to its mouth this way. Lobsters can also just feed by positioning its mouth close to its food which is how damaged ( clawless) lobsters can continue to eat. Spiney lobsters (Panulirus argus) do not have either the crusher or the feeder claw yet they eat well.
