Flat Corrin sees real lobsters!


These lobsters have very heavy elastics on their claws called bands. The reason these lobsters have two bands on each claw is because they are called selects. The selects are very large lobsters. Most lobsters have only one band on each claw. The bands are so the lobsters can't pinch you.

Lobsters have two kinds of claws. One is called the pincher, and isn't very strong. They use it to rip open their food. The other claw is larger, and is called the crusher claw. This claw is really strong. It is used to crush shells. Some lobsters are right handed, and some are left. Flat Corrin was a little bit afraid when she saw the size of these lobster's claws!

Flat Corrin was really excited when she found out that Stonington catches more lobsters than anywhere else!

Then Flat Corrin and Grammy had to go home because it was almost time for Grampy to get home from work.
