As the guy who always wanted to free the lobsters in the grocery store as a kid, this is deeply satisfying to watch.

I love how you went from "might as well put something in this old tank" to "I should probably get a bigger tank for my good boy Leon". Pets really are like that.

Me: I should be working

Poor little thing was so hungry and weak it took 'em a few days just to regain its strength enough to use it's little pincers and even one claw. That's a really sweet thing you did for this little guy, man. Thanks Mr. Lobster man, you're one standup fella.

Imagine thinking your life is only going to be misery and then one of the giants takes you away and suddenly life is amazing. You did a good thing. ❤ My stepdad used to always tell me that if you're gonna keep an animal for food it should have a decent life beforehand. Leon isn't going to be food in this lifetime, but he deserves a good life regardless.

This man literally did what every 4 year old wish they couldve done with the lobsters at the grocery store.

I'm glad KZfaq recommended me this. What a fascinating video. It was so sad seeing him motionless in the box, but it was awesome seeing him so active.

Man has yet to fully understand the magnificant creatures that share the planet with us. Saving this noble creature is an act of compasion and intelligence. Thank you.

Hello Brady - I'm a marine biologist. Loved your video! You can tell a male from a female from the first set of pleopods or swimmerets. On the male, the first pair are hard and large. On the female, they are small and flimsy. Leon (or Leona) almost looks a bit like he / she is approaching molt. I see that from the dark / bluish tinge I see around the knuckles. That is not the best identifier. If I could look at one of his / her pleopods under a scope, I'd be able to tell with 100% certainty. Also, lobsters LOVE to hide in cracks, crevices, holes, etc. If you got him / her something he could hide in, he'd love that. When he does prepare to molt, he'll flop on his side and appear like he's dieing. Don't sweat it. Sit back and enjoy the show!

I can't stop thinking about how Leon must think all the other lobsters also got taken to nice new homes

I’m a biologist who loves lobsters and I get really sad seeing them eaten. This video made me so happy, thank you so much for giving Leon, the love he deserves🖤

Leon is a better housekeeper than some people.

“He grooms himself a lot, particularly after eating, kind of like a cat. He grooms his whiskers, and even his eyes” I’ve never found a lobster this sweet before

fun fact, lobsters in captivity love to rearrange their surroundings, and even Leon was moving the shells and substrate around. if ur able to, try to give him a few large rocks he can stack around, itll offer him stimulation as well as a secure place to hide

this made me cry. Was beautiful to watch you nurse it back to health. ❤

Man seeing a lobster getting rescued and treated with physiotherapy really made my day.

Everything about him changed. His attitude, shell colour, everything. He's a happy little guy in his own home

Thank you for saving him

Having watched all of Leon's progress it's great to watch this again knowing the great life he gets and how beautiful he becomes.
