Lobsters taste with their legs to find food
lobsters have chemosensory hairs along each one of their legs and on the tips of them are these receptors that allow them to taste and smell the world around them.. kind of like if we had tongues on the bottoms of our feet and as we walked all over the place we could taste the ground. does it really sound great for humans but for lobster very important.
Lobsters eat with their hidden teeth
Lobster mouths are very unique they have these two teeth that kind of grind together. They actually have their teeth located on the stomach underneath them. So in order to get that food they’ll often pounce on it and bring them to their stomach where the teeth grind it apart and make it easier to digest.
