Research is ongoing with respect to how, and how well, marine crustaceans cam hear. Since they live in a liquid medium the importance of sound and the strategy for detecting it are different from vertebrates. If you consider sound to be a type of motion in air waves (a compression and rarefaction) and wind to be a continuous motion of air, the lobster would seem to at least have one sense dedicated to both effects. Lobsters, crabs and shrimp have an array of sensory hairs on their bodies which detect movement in water including the vibration in water we would perceive as sound. They also have internal sac-like sensory organs called statocysts, associated with detection of orientation, which are believed to be stimulated by sound. Marine invertebrates also have sensors in their flexible appendages like legs and antennae that can detect seismic vibrations.
Lobsters have been shown to at least be sensitive to low-frequency underwater sounds in the range of 20 to 300 Hz. By comparison, good human hearing might go from around 20 up to about 20,000 Hz.
What would be a creature that looks like a lobster with small claws or pincers found on land?
As far as I know, there's no such thing, but you could be confused with the scorpion and mantids, but asuming you aren't stupid, there is no such thing that I know of.
Can you keep a lobster for a pet?
Well you could, but you are looking at setting up a BIG coldwater marine tank, filters and probably a chiller to keep the water cool.
More practical.
Get a freshwater crayfish. They are smaller, and can live in normal freshwater, cold or tropical depending on the species.
They need a normal filtered fish tank, but a 10gal tank with a freshwater cray is perfectly practical, compared to a 200gal marine tank anyway.
Does a lobster suffer when you cook it?
Doubt it. I haven't heard one complain yet. It's really quick. The question continues to surface from time to time. And probably for a good reason. The lobster, despite the size of some of the brutes, is basically a "bug" with a tiny and primitive brain and nervous system. The crustaceans die very quickly when plunged into boiling water or when their eyestalks are removed. (If the last method is being applied, use a small, very sharp knife and work quickly - and carefully. It takes only a few seconds, and the amount of "feeling" the lobster experiences, owing to its primitive nervous system, is minimal.)
First, for the purposes of this question, I am narrowing the analysis to Jews who keep kosher, e.g. follow the dietary laws, and also ignoring any personal allergies.
Prawns are explicitly prohibited as they are sea creatures without fins and scales.
hibernate, since they are not fast enough to migrate far distances.

What animal eats an Spiny Lobster?
Lobsters will eat almost anything, but their favorite foods are snails, crabs, clams, and urchins.
Do lobster eat other lobsters?
Actually, crabs eat anything. Many crabs find food by sifting through the sand and eating any little particles they can find that taste good to them - this is why you see them sitting around on the beach picking at the sand with their claws. Crabs will also eat anything in the water or on the beach if it is dead, also - that includes dead crabs. Many crabs hunt other animals like bivalves, gastropods, shrimp, and yes, other crabs.
How do you tell if thawed lobster tail is spoiled?
They smell like ammonia after they're cooked. That's why lobsters are usually cooked alive, because they deteriorate very quickly after death. And obviously, if you only have the tail, the lobster is dead.
Do lobster fertilize internal or external?
Lobsters use external fertilization. I don't know how just yet but I am trying to find out. I had this question for homework once and it is hard to find the exactanswer you are looking for.
What side dish goes with steamed lobster?
Assuming you are serving the legs with melted butter for dipping, I would probably choose side dishes that weren't too rich. Consider a great tossed salad and bread from the bakery. Also http://www.recipelink.com to find the MANY other recipes already posted.

How long can you keep in the freezer a cooked lobster?
If you remove the lobster head, take the intestine track out, put it in a zip lock bag, fill with water till the tail is covered, then freeze in that block of ice. I thawed it and it tasted fine after 1 year.
Do you need to clean live lobster?
no because when you boil it, it will kill all the bacteria on the lobster. but if you are a germ freak you can wash it if you really want to. ---------------------------------------------------------- The lobster needs to be boiled in salted water before you can eat it. After it has been boiled you can eat most of it apart from the gills, shell and the vein running from the front to the rear in the white meat of the tail.
How long can you refrigerate cooked fish?
I would say just 24 hours, not more than that!
Explain why fish should be cooked simply and quickly?
