WHAT?? 3 yrs already??? OMG

I mean the first Leon video was posted 2 years ago, so it's not gonna be 3 years till November :)

@@NekoDae I meant it doesn't feel like 3yrs, not saying it hasn't been.

Salvare gli astici ti porterà in Paradiso, questo è 💙🦞

I hope he lives that long! I hadn’t checked in for a while and kind of thought “what if…” - I’m weirdly attached to him 😂 I’m glad to hear they usually live long lives. To Leon 🥂

Leon could live longer than any us (possibly). The saga has only just begun 😂

I love Leon too!!

Yes, a Lobster can grow older then 100 years.

Same. I found this right after Leon was res used, and have been obsessed ever since. ❤❤ 🦞

Right!? Same

Sincerely.

I peeped the blue highlights too lol

Lobsters Cats and Tigers are similar we must don't kill any of they never

He became a big boi

Can't believe your ok with him being trapped in a tank for years

@@JOHNBOYC2And he would have been eaten otherwise. Nice bait though.

@@MythionVR it's not bait I'd rather be eaten than locked in a box year after year after year. Try studying consciousness even just a little, there's no reality where a creature is happy in captivity separate from others. Why you feel the need to defend it is puzzling and slightly concerning. You've decided to stick up for captivity to such an extent that you need to send a stranger a comment like "Nice bait though" in order to get a rise from them. Hope the year picks up for you and your predictably annonomous profile picture.

@JOHNBOYC2 Bring out the dancing lobsters! We got a looney!

I never smiled so much in my life with a youtube channel like his, it's truely heart warming

Everyone with such empathy for animals, as I have as well, should be vegan. Consuming animal products is 100% unnecessary. Watch Earthlings!

@@Ballen1182 Plants are still a form of life. Like it or not, you're killing something to eat it. You vegans are so blinded by your superiority complex you can't see your own hypocrisy. Let people live how they want.

I feel guilty cause the last live lobster i grabbed we steamed.

@@Ballen1182 bro acts so high and mighty 😂 do you realize the damage vegan farms do to animals

That shot was almost poetic, really excellent shot

We must never kill or eat any Poor Lobsters Cats and Tigers Never🙏🏻💙🐯🐈🦞

I don’t think the one that reared up for a better look was Jett; it was probably his sister. They can be hard to tell apart from their front half alone. Just seems more likely to me.

I forgot about the other one. Thanks.@@gameandgamer1479

Yeah. That blue is a really nice shade.

I no longer eat lobster. Leon is a huge reason why.

I think the same thing when I buy feeder goldfish for my pond.

@@greatplainsman3662 that's great! 👍🎖

Lobsters Cats and Tigers are similar you can't eat any of they.

Also by how big hes become

Yeah poor lobsters

Lobsters Cats and Tigers are similar so we must can't eat any of they 🙏🏻💙🐯🐈🦞

I dont think its that. After all, theres another small crab in the bucket and it didnt run anywhere

Spider crabs!

They even protected the spy crab in their midst!

@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 repent to the Crab God

​@@4nn4hall hail the crab

Many crabs can only mate after shedding. It might be a crab orgy.

I think it's just the blue bucket highlighting the blue in him. But it is pretty. Maybe Brady needs to put a blue backing on the back of the tank to bring out Leon's features when he's on camera. Lol

So cute I could just eat him up, just kidding, not really😊

They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns and can change over time with sheds. Even some dramatic patterns like two different colors/patterns split down the middle. I think most people just think of the red cooked color when they think of lobsters. He does appear to have some blue highlights in places.

I was thinking the same thing, to me he looks a little blue

I'm assuming that its like lizards. when they're healthier and growing, their colors deepen and vary.

😅😅😅

I'm not sure it was actually protecting the small Crab. It raised and open its claws when it saw the small Crab approaching, which makes me think it was actually preparing to defend itself. However, it didn't attack the small Crab when it hid under it, which I find odd. Most crabs are highly defensive and would attack another Crab that got too close.

"DADDY THAT OTHER CRAB BULLIES ME 😭" "Ok little one, papa will protect you"

It doesn't hurt to look at them that way, but it is worth remembering that thoughts and feelings are mediated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and patterns of synaptic connections. The anatomy and physiology of a crustacean's nervous system is so drastically different from our own that we can do ourselves (and them) a disservice by projecting our own desires and motivations onto them. I'm not sure how much effort crabs even invest into their young once hatched, but I doubt it is very much so I would be genuinely shocked by a parent/child relationship like that. I know there are animals with sexual dimorphism that has one sex being significantly larger than the other, so maybe the big crab was protecting its supply of sperm or eggs if it was protecting at all.

Shore crabs hide under rocks when they are scared. The bigger crab probably looked like a rock at first glance, so the little one went to hide under it. The larger one may have not attacked because was keeping an eye on the human (the bigger threat).

At a certain point it's just better to let them free of their misery. They become so big they just stop being able to function, from what I've heard.

Oh no, he found the secret snack stash! Going to have to start over, oh well

Yeah man, this was so sad at the beginning of his life, but now he is so beautiful, this is the present of God for his owner and for say thank you, oh and also I pray every single day for lobsters like pets, here on Italy of North are 01:58 am and this is so awesome 🙏🏻💙🦞

@@GinoRigoni I pray every day that more and more Italians eat lobster every day like lobster fra diavolo!!

Same here.

​​@@MikeR65oh, this is very Inappropriate comment on our country.

many are not taken care of with interest and love, neither do they usually have the benefit of being the sole focus of their caretakers, often resulting in wrong sized equipments and maybe lack of specialized saltwater equipment. many simply bypass a water chiller due to costs. or forgets to check up on the salt ballance in the tank regularly(once per day) saltwater can be hard to keep running in itself, add such a big impressive species as a lobster and most give up pretty fast.

Brady is doing an awesome aquarium level job of maintaining a life for him. He knows what he’s doing and in a result Leon looks GREAT! Leon isn’t a UKposts experiment he’s Brady’s shell baby and it shows ❤

@@brittanytakenaka8411 he does a 1000 times better job than many "aquarists" that just buys what the clerk say goes well without researching themselves. truly a hobbyists inspiration.

@@inquisitorwalmarius6650 I can agree to an extent. I grew up lobster fishing (trapping) in Maine and have heard of conservation efforts to keep lobsters in captivity and to help them reproduce in order to restock the waters, like a fish farm. I think it is a combination of a “difficult “ animal for captivity and also if you could successfully farm them on a mass scale it would flood the shell fish market bringing down the value of lobster. I have never honestly investigated this personally so my opinion is just my opinion

​@@BrassMtnthe shell fish market is so profitable I doubt anyone will be able to manipulate it through mass production like that. It would be extremely hard to do, and definitely upset the current nature of the trade

Bradys commentary says otherwise.

Lobsters are like humans they want stay on comfort, so lobsters are perfect pets

@@GinoRigoni you need to seek help! I am not joking!!

​@@MikeR65Please shut up

@@MikeR65 Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm genuinely interested in learning the mechanics behind your thought processes, and how they have brought you to this point. How did you discover the first video? What about it chafed? What made you seek out more videos? What was it that made you sift through numerous comments and post intentionally hostile ones? Boredom?

Yup, always soothing, I know the feeling and then always a Leon Video seems to drop like clockwork, Same with "Walter Santi" and his cat stories ,I follow

What does it mean?

@@Medabee8 it means in my opinion, Lobsters have souls too, thats why i won' t eat one ever again.

That’s ok I’ve more than made up the difference!!

I’m with you. We too had a rescue lobster for about 18 months. Unfortunately he didn’t survive a shell change for some reason. He was just as much of a pet as our dog. 🦞

@@MikeR65 Mike....really?

Any lobster dinner Fortunately and this is because intelligent people don't be evil🙏🏻💙🦞

@@GinoRigoni You do realize that Leon would eat his own claw if served to him.

@@MikeR65 What’s your point?

Does he know they're in the store to be consumed by us, and how they're burned alive. Don't let your kid grow up in fantasy land. Explain how some people keep them as pets too, but do explain both sides to the story. Not only that, humans aren't even suppose to eat any kind of shellfish. Under God's food laws that is.

@@JaneCooper190072 Just stop. This is an interesting video series but lobsters are pretty much giant sea bugs. Do you not kill any bugs around your house? And to bring the nonsense book into this too..... again just stop.

no they do not have personalities they are acting instinctively.

​@@MikeR65 piss off

@@MikeR65 A lot of personality traits are exactly that, just pure instinct XD

@@MikeR65 There's no magic to human personalities, they're as much a product of evolutionary biology as any other animal's, we just happen to have more complex ones as a result of our more complex brains, and we often delude ourselves into thinking that our personalities are somehow metaphysically different from our instincts. Conscious thought is an instinct, just a more complex one than the subconscious "monkey see, monkey do" responses that we usually associate with the term 'instinct'. Now, where we draw the line of acceptable callousness is subjective, as we too need to consume other life forms in order to survive, whether flora, fauna or fungi; so you're free to tell yourself whatever you need to for the sake of your own peace of mind. But it doesn't change the underlying truth that in the end, it's an artificial division made up by us, which we are placing on what's in reality a sliding scale of complexity. Hope this clears it up.

@@michasokoowski6651Please don’t insult your own intelligence by comparing lobsters to humans. They are not capable of anything other than simple instinctive action. No emotion.

I wonder if he has enough of a memory or the kind of thinking that would enable him to basically have lobster PTSD… Or maybe I’m just anthropomorphizing, but it’s be fascinating to k ow wether or not lobsters are capable of that type of complex thought!

@@katehucks774 Personally i think they are. Today i read a story of a parrot who asked a human what colour he was.
