Spiny Lobster

Spiny lobsters are marine crustaceans known for their spiny exteriors and lack of large front claws, unlike true lobsters. They have long, thick antennae and a robust body covered with a hard shell. Found in warm coastal waters worldwide, they live on the ocean floor, hiding under rocks and coral. Spiny lobsters are valued commercial seafood, prized for their tender, flavorful meat. They are social animals that often move in groups and play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by helping maintain balanced populations of other species.
