The Mighty Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster
River Titans
The Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster is the largest freshwater invertebrate in the world. These blue-green giants can grow up to 31 inches long and weigh over 13 pounds. They are found in the rivers of Tasmania, where they are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss. Their size and color make them a striking sight in their natural habitat.
Ancient Crustaceans
With a lifespan of up to 60 years, these lobsters are among the longest-living crustaceans. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by keeping the riverbeds clean. Their impressive size and longevity make them a fascinating subject of study for biologists, and they have been the focus of conservation efforts to protect their dwindling populations.
