    When do lobsters move around and hunt for food?

    • Morning

    • Noon

    • Night

    Correct Answer
    A. Night
    Explanation
    Lobsters are primarily nocturnal creatures, meaning they are most active during the night. During this time, they move around and hunt for food. This behavior is likely due to the fact that lobsters are more protected from predators and have a higher chance of successfully catching prey under the cover of darkness. Additionally, their natural circadian rhythm may contribute to their increased activity during the night.

    Is it true that lobsters fight constantly?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Lobsters are known to be territorial creatures and they often engage in fights with each other. These fights can occur over resources such as food or shelter, or to establish dominance within a certain area. Lobsters use their large claws to engage in combat, and these fights can sometimes be intense and result in injuries. Therefore, it is true that lobsters fight constantly.

    Do lobsters have vocal chords?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    Lobsters do not have vocal chords. They are unable to produce sounds or communicate through vocalizations like humans or some other animals. Lobsters primarily rely on chemical signals, such as pheromones, to communicate with each other. They use their antennae and other appendages to detect and interpret these chemical signals in their environment. Therefore, the correct answer is no.

    What is the main culprit for the decline in lobsters?

    • Pollution

    • Disease

    • Overfishing

    • Parasites

    Correct Answer
    A. Overfishing
    Explanation
    Overfishing is the main culprit for the decline in lobsters. This is because excessive fishing of lobsters leads to a decrease in their population, as they are caught at a rate faster than they can reproduce. This disrupts the balance of the ecosystem and negatively impacts the lobster population. Overfishing also affects the food chain, as lobsters play a crucial role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems. Therefore, overfishing is the primary reason for the decline in lobsters.
