you should see a psychiatrist then.

​@@MikeR65wow....

Totally agree with you ALL life is precious

@@MikeR65 who wee wee'd in your breakfast buddy? This was a completely wonderful video and M M's comment didn't deserve your juvenile remark.

@@MikeR65 That is really uncalled for. I think that you need some empathy towards other humans.

Has it been two years already? Insane! I remember watching Leon’s first video when it came out.

Lobster actually live a long time. Leon will probably out live him.

@TentaclePentacle I meant more, so the fact I started to watch this in lockdown of what was a soon to be eaten lobster in a tank to being rescued by Brady. I can't believe how fast the time has gone, and I was surprised because of the circumstances that he was still alive, considering how it all began.

@@Liberate1990 I wood break into this ngga's house to take leon for dinner. Crazy mufcka keeping food as a pet.

Amen to that

Awesome! Thank you for checking back in on Leon. ✌️✌️✌️🦞

Me too

They can live longer than 100 years, so this will be really cool to watch over the decades!

Lol, silly lobsters are some of the longest living animals in the world, 100 is middle aged

humans..

This shows just how comfortable, safe and healthy Leon is-that he can shed his shell and exhibit such normal, healthy behavior. Thanks for this amazing video filled with amazing things that happen deep down in our oceans.

i have noticed that with enough exposure, humans will consider anything cute.

It makes you wonder about the first poor, starving bastard that was so hungry, he was willing to eat a giant sea bug? 🦞🦀🐙🦑🦐🦂😋 or worse🪼🐡🐸🦎🐍🤮🥶🥵🤮💀👻

I like to eat lobsters... Yum yum. but it would be cool to have one as a pet too.

How sweet, Deb and I bet your Son really likes Leon 😍

I like his journey indeed!

@@aarone1981 we’re not worried…just cheering for the sake of cheering!

you area great mother for showing your child this and teaching empathy :) I'm sure your kid will cherish those memories

@@langustajableczna thank you! I was taught to have great love and respect for all creatures great and small and I think he’s got the hang of it now. Our poor dog thought we were crazy…but we panicked when we saw Leon completely fall over.

That’s so cool 😄

Real education!🙏🏻👏👏‼

@royalbookshopper, fill me in on the details between you and the teen you were talking to about this latest Leon the Lobster video.

I thought they eat there old shells

​@@DarkMasterJo they will out in the wild usually, waste not want not. But leons pretty well fed so I'm guessing he doesn't need the extra protein

me too man so many tears, so emotional calling in sick tomorrow

It was Surreal, he left his old self behind, then he was the new Leon. the genuine care. The narration, music, and the true process of mother nature came through so well in this. I would be lying if I didn’t say I had waves of emotion through this process. Thank you, Brady.

yeah, i thought so too!​@@DarkMasterJo

What a wuss

Future vegan

It truly is unbelievable 🙏

@@jeffg6008 I cried

stop eating them

Leon literally brought my mom, brother, and me closer together 😭

no way i genuinely never expected to see another Xenosaga fan in the wild like this lol

He is truly a magnificent creature!❤🎉

Totally fascinating...Brady's narration enhances our experience

Beautiful eh! Almost ruby coloured

Yep, lobsters always seem at their most vibrant after molting. My guess is that their shell becomes duller over time as they get closer to their next molt (Just a guess, I’m not an expert on Lobsters so feel free to correct me)

His colours are just amazing.

I want to eat him

Wow, Brady is a great filmmaker!

Save Lobsters 🙏🏻💙🦞

Lobsters lives matter ✌️

Might be wrong but don't they reach a point where they essentially stop molding but keep getting bigger, then die ?

@@Yautahmolting gets harder and harder and eventually it might be so energy consuming that they die

@@bugguyonline So theoretically if we could assist in the molting somehow without stressing the lobster out (I imagine it as an old person trying to take their clothes off but can't, then suddenly giant hands appeared to strip them), we could have a lobster (if remains healthy) that grow infinitely? At least until it reaches a limit that's not existed yet in the wild.

@@ADKV95 technically there are medical substances for fish and crabs that just knock them out or makes them relaxe very much. So if someone figures out how to shed a Lobster without damaging it, and before doing so knocks it out, maybe?

Same!

Awesome! Thank you for checking out Leon’s story. ✌️✌️✌️🦞

Would you stkll eat a crab cake? Just curious?

@@useyourdelusion6807 im vegan so no

@@MichelleGrondine ah well at least you arent a hypocrite then

@@useyourdelusion6807I don't like this notion that its impossible to respect the animals you eat, i do eat meat, but i also recognize that i'm literally eating something that had to die for this to happen.(nothing against being vegan by the way) on the other side of this, i also find it irritating when people are incapable of seeing an animal we tend to eat as nothing more than that. There does not need to be a "one or the other" argument here, you are allowed to love the animals you happen to eat.

@@astick5249 is it really love then? Or just an appreciation coupled with the positive emotions the living animal makes you feel? The dopamine you get from the experience, is that a shallow love so to speak?

except for an actual home or cave he can hide away in when he doesn't want to be seen

@@rochelem3872 I think I am right in saying he has a hideaway in the back of his tank. His owner will know the answer to that of course. When you take into account he was rescued from a live tank in a restaurant, ready to cook and eat, I feel he has been a very lucky lobster indeed.

​@@rochelem3872 I believe he's said in another video that he feels safer being able to watch Leon molt, to at least be aware of any consequences happening. The little lower part behind the rocks is something Leon made himself though, and it's kinda his sleeping spot from what we have seen😊

Amazing to watch.. ,thank you!!!!!! 😊

All that good steady food must of helped with his new sized...

Leon is life.

Thats beautiful!

😭

I think you need to seek psychiatric care

It's true, changing yourself or your life, is hard work.

Never had lobster either, and don’t wanna. How beautiful

I've never eaten lobster either. These videos are a real insight into a creature I knew very little of.

I couldn't agree more these creatures not only deserve to live but they deserve to just be left alone and contine cleaning the bottom of the ocean

Absolutely with you on that x

Yeah, it's been debunked that they don't feel pain when boiled. Just took a few centuries to figure that out. *shakes head*

Its the only way to safely eat them

@@DiscoDevil197 incorrect information. As a chef and restaurant GM, I prefer putting them in the refrigerator to slow them down and/or a quick knife thru the brain. Never live boiling or steaming. But personally, I dont eat lobster or crab.

Totally agree

molt

@@ruthkletke Must be the Brit in me. Check your dictionary.

@@piggerma We have it spelled both ways in Canadian dictionaries. Molt and moult..go fiquire.

@@ruthkletke figure *

​@@piggerma Yes, thank you for appreciated it 🙏🏻💙🦞

Yes agree ...spiritual and reverent ...God's creation is just wonderful

Same , powerful to see what happened to us when born again and our old nature dead

At that point it wouldn’t be weird at all, it would be normal.

We kind of do dust is skin flakes.

Can you imagine how creepy it would be having the skin of our old self to dispose of.

@@davidmccann9811 You know we would play with it, like the curious creatures we are. We'd find different ways to fuck with people by stuffing them with newspaper or something.

Thats probably what will finally kill him. Lobsters are essentially biologically immortal but eventually he will get too big and it'll cost too much energy

Dad please

Ba dum tss 🥁

Of what I believe I’m sure they were classed as a sentinel being

Leons Law! 🎉❤

The next thing you know you weirdos are going to want to do the same for mice and rats.

IIRC lobster can grow up to 80 years in age. so its a lifetime job if you get one as a pet. ^^

Actually in the wild they can live to be 100+

@@nvgboiyes6386 That would be an extreme outlier. Generally they're believed to live about 45-50 years. What's interesting though is that they don't really age like other animals do. The limiting factor to their lifespan is the moulting process. The bigger they get the more energy it takes, so eventually they reach a point where they die from exhaustion during a moult.

I love this!! You truly care for Leon’s dry-land-equivalent critters! You’ve got a perspective on Leon most of us and likely even Leon’s caretaker don’t even have! How beautiful ❤

I remember someone saying that crustaceans and arachnids come from similar origins ...😊

@@layercake2368 yes they did!

Makes sense to me. Your scorpion is just a few generations away from Leon and other lobsters

They are like the spiders of the ocean ☺️

I felt quite emotional watching this, too. The entire molting experience is just so incredible. It is truly remarkable that he had legs, claws, a body inside his body, like he is two lobsters in one (even more than two as he molted before and likely will molt again). Makes one wonder, how many Leons are in Leon? One of the most striking parts of the video to me was the comparison of the claws. It is incredible how the second claw "grew" but was a different claw. The teeth look exactly the same, as though it was the same claw growing. But it was an entirely different claw.

Leon is healthy because of what you have done for him. Love nutrition exercise and a few friends has really brought him to a great place When I lived in Florida I would catch Florida lobster sometimes I would come across a few molted shells it was very interesting never seen one mold but thank you to you now I know how it's done thank you

I just commented something similar on a dog groomers videos. Just... People caring so deeply for another being. I'm not going through a great time so it's nice to be reminded people can care

Me too!!!

​@@asadovesoacrowWe've all been there. Hang in there! Always darkest before the dawn.

I had to read that twice 🤣 it was in the right order the second time and you didn’t have a Brazilian 🤣

Remember Lobsters are like Humans Save Lobsters Community is present 🙏🏻💙🦞 Love Cold places hope you can stay well, Hello from Canada, and remember Lobsters are Animals.

I was a HUGE shellfish eater. I stumbled on Leon’s first video and I’ve never eaten shellfish since..

That was so interesting especially the slow motion shucking himself out of his old shell. When i watch Leon i know I'll never be eating Lobster. Boiling them alive feel utterly barbaric. He looks so beautiful,so many different colours in his shell. I've learned so much from your videos,thank you🦞

I have stopped eating fish completely, not solely because of Leon but he absolutely contributed to my decision!

Me neither. Seeing the lobsters piled up with their claws banded in those small tanks at the grocery store is heartbreaking. Thinking about them being boiled alive makes me feel sick.

im going to eat twice as many lobsters now just so your change makes no difference

Brady is a cat rescuer, so there is that! (Admittedly cat rescue is more mainstream than adopting lobsters!)

I wish I could do that too!

I guess you could call it an out-of-body experience. 😁

Spider's do the same thing. Grose

​@@smurfie8412 we kinda do, we shed a lot of skin cells during the day

He seems to know that's why he becomes more aggressive. He knows he's very vulnerable. As to whether or not he feels fear like we do is unknown. He seems to be attached to his old self as well. Very interesting and fascinating to watch. I really love these videos.

​@@skylark... Me tooo! ❤

It honestly looks like he's giving birth to himself once a year.

​@@danielled8665 perfectly put!

It's definitely a relief when all is said and done. He molts because his insides are literally getting too big for his old exoskeleton. But at the same time, he knows he's vulnerable until his new carapace hardens.

With plenty of 🔥 for another day. >>;=)

Personally i would have taken the opportunity with the old shell to perch a top.hat on the head and put a cane in one claw.

Today is the Leon's Birthday! Happy Birthday Leon! I want info you Leon is an Aries and a Gemini! Very Cool! That because his 1st molt was on April 01 of last year, so Happy Birthday Leon! 🎂♈️♊️

@@Bradybrandwood Yes sir. Transplant from Yorktown, Va.

Leon's getting larger 😅

@@KN-xl6lw Johnny, how about a coffee?

😅😅😅

It would probably be wildly more stressful for Leon to be touched at all at that point knowing how vulnerable he is :(

I couldn't have said it any better. Thanks! 🙂 I agree with you on every point you made. 😊 I don't know who I Love more... Brady or Leon! 😉❤️ lol

It's not uncommon for them to eat scraps of their old exoskeleton to help their new one calcify faster.

Awesome! Thanks for the sub and for watching ed! ✌️✌️✌️

Whose a pretty bot then???

@@hughgordon6435 What a toxic troll you are 🙄

Awesome! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️🦞

consider: both an animal can be really cool and awesome and beautiful and still be eaten. theres no guilt in it lol. especially when you consider that literally every living organism on the planet, barring most plants and other producers, literally HAVE to consume other living organisms to survive. like there is legitimately nothing you eat that isnt made from other living things

@@penntopaper9305 salt

I feel sorry for you if you think its ok to plop a living creature into boiling water then eat it. I bet you wouldnt be so cool with it if we proposed the same thing to your pets. Dick.

@@drchicken2477 huh

@@penntopaper9305The thing is, we don’t have to consume thinking lifeforms, we can be perfectly healthy on plants.

I've always been vegetarian (well since my mom read me Charlotte's Web around 6 and then took me to Austria to her farming village!!). As a child growing up in New Orleans I remember when my family or neighbors would have "crawfish boils", I would always steel one or two and bring them to the levee and set them free. I think, without being preachy, Brady and Leon have probably saved many lobsters and maybe even other animals. Maybe even crueler then being boiled alive is being starved with claws tied together (imagine being starved with handcuffs) for weeks? months? Leon was probably broken and wishing for death when he was chosen from the tank and voila, he's a star of the internet, living the life, given treats regularly and getting better and better digs.

I agree, it is barbaric.

That was CAPTIVE.

I, too, was stressed out watching Leon go through his molt. I found myself holding my breath a few times. 😯 I was so relieved when he was finally free of his old shell. 😅

You are ashamed for having eaten your natural diet?

@@MikeR65 I think that you need to see a psychologist.

Yup. Not sure if it's my new glasses or what but even pre moult this episode, Leon was stunningly beautiful. The colours were amazing

@@MikeR65 It's also natural not to eat lobster. Crustaceans have probably been off the hominid menu for a lot longer by a few factors, than they have been on it. And the thing about being Homo sapiens sapiens is that we also can make an ethical decision about what we shove in our cake holes. Or are you saying making conscious choices is unnatural for our species?

You've made the change. Better than most people will ever do.

Unlikekly as long as they remain delicious.

I honestly don’t know how anyone could throw a live animal into boiling water. I heard that lobsters scream whilst they’re being boiled 😢

Selling dead lobster would get people killed

Tbh bro the animals you do eat don't really have a great time of it either..

@@Deathhead68 Yeah, but they are already dead by the time you get to cooking them normaly.

@@someoneprobably1802 yeah but the way they are killed is pretty sad too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y52YdKh9qqjOiGg.html

On a cooking show, they killed the lobster by inserting a knife in the opening behind its head just before putting it in the water, so it would appear that there's no real reason for throwing them in alive. There's also a theory that you have to put the lobster in headfirst because that'll destroy the brain before any pain sensation can actually reach the brain. Personally, I'll just pass and cheer for Leon.

@@jacquelinethijsen272 tbh we can just eat something else, I wouldn't wanna be killed even if I didn't feel pain, not sure why Leon should have to
