Description
Spiny lobsters are similar to “true” lobsters, but they lack the large claws that are often associated with those crustaceans. They also have long, spiky antennae, unlike true lobsters. The two groups are not closely related, but both share common features like a hard shell and a segmented tail. Spiny lobsters are found in warm, marine environments around the world.

History:
There are around 60 species of spiny lobsters, found throughout the warm oceans of the world. The fossil record shows that spiny lobsters have existed on earth for at least 110 million years. These creatures spend most of their time in caves and holes in rocky sea beds or coral reefs, but occasionally migrate in large groups, traveling across the sea floor in groups of over 50 lobsters, moving in a single file line.
