  • I'm pretty sure this is the same with human males.. Throw out a million kids and just about all of them will end up in a napkin.. Or on the floor.

  • this is the story of my jizz

  • So if a lobster mum gives birth in a controlled captive environment with no predators, does that mean all 700,000 lobsters will live on?

    ???????

    Profit

  • @MechaView A lot will probably die from certain inabilities such as low food or not knowing to eat or simply diseases or genetic mutations.

  • @MechaView Dinner

  • @MechaView Babies + selling = profit

  • Save the lobsters!

  • well... atleast we won't starve to death...

  • even if only 3% live that's one lobster giving birth to 21000 lobsters...wow

  • dirty hoe

  • WAIT WAIT WAIT, if only 3% survive to adulthood, then that means there are 21,000 spiny lobsters per pregnant female that become adult lobsters. I don't know about you, but that sounds HUGE!

  • I needed something pleasant to watch after the Queen termite to refresh my mind.

  • Does that mean if you grow them domestically you could get around 700 000 lobsters?

  • Imagine the alimony check on that one.

  • Which documentary is this video from?

  • Love the show mostly.. the narrator just sounds so idiotic -.- its like he is dumbing it down for no reason whatsoever!

  • red lobster.... YUM

  • talk about a hotdog in a hallway

  • 3%? That's still about 21,000 Lobsters!

  • @PorkChops250 :the restaurants can take care of them :))

  • hey the lobster wuz on Man vs Wild wich wuz the very next show after this one xD!!!

  • I was eating a carrot while watching this.

  • Shes Squirting

  • lobster mom looks depressed :(

  • er, TRULY.

  • Imagine how much cheaper lobster would be if we just farmed them.. Givin the fact of what we just herd... it would be amazingly profitable, very controlled so it was safe, and instead of living for 2 seconds they could live a long farmed life lol. Were fucking Human we live in a system of Duality lets not be dumbasses and just live and enjoy our abilitie to farm. Thats our purpose here is to farm and to learn Duality so fuck.. lets do it!

  • Yum Lobster Tonight....

  • what if the 700 thousand lobster survive and reach it's adult stage? there would be lobster everywhere in the ocean.!!!!!!!!!! =)

  • @mickiel21 Lobster price would go down drastically. umm, yummy.

  • i want to farm those things and make a fortune

  • need to wait how long that get baby??

  • nomnomnomnom LOBSTERS! I'm hungry now

  • @khandarrah13 go vegan you fucking creepo

  • I love humar!

  • After the get real big They can be entered into THE MIAMI SPINY LOBSTER TOURNAMENT mini season 2011 ... $2000. cash & prizes

  • @P00PST0MP You do realize that Lobster used to be the poor man's food right?

  • @foof811 i rather think you just made that up. poor man's food has been Spaghettio's for almost as far back as history goes. and that's without meatballs.

  • @P00PST0MP You sir, are a dumbass. First of all, spaghetti was not discovered until the 16th-century when Marco Polo visited China. Next, Spaghetti-O's have only been around for at least 100 years. If you actually were to study before spewing lies, then you would find out that in the middle-ages through the late 18th century, they fed lobster to POW's and regular prisoners, and Royalty would be embarassed to be seen eating the "poor man's food." You, lose. Good day to you, sir.

  • @foof811 It's hilarious that you completely missed the sarcasm. And what's with all this "sir" crap? lolol p00pstomp trolled you completely.

  • @benxgov No Problem Man!

  • @P00PST0MP I'm going to Red Lobster tomorrow night. Yummm!!!! p:

  • @P00PST0MP

    Adorable creatures? You mean delicious, right?

  • Why are lobsters so expensive? Couldn't they just have two lobsters fuck in a tank and end up having all 700,000 babies live? I don't understand that.

  • @Reeves92 actually they do, selective breeding of lobsters via lobster farms and they are raised in hatcheries and when they are mature they will fetch a higher price to be sold at markets. It depends on where you get your lobsters, some areas are much expensive because of the season or availability of the lobster itself also depending on the weight it has.

  • @macshit900 Oh I see, thank you for the response

  • look shush..obviously my comment is from a year ago...so you haven't seen what people were posting a year ago. before you speak, learn your facts...and learn to stop callling everyone 'retarded'..you sound stupid saying that.

  • wow freaking freak

  • @DormantInsanity daaaaaamn where do you live where you can get 1.00 lobsters we have to pay like $50.00 just for a 5lb lobster in new england!

  • it may be a vitality of life but it is also the weirdest fucking thing i have seen.

  • 3% of 700, 000 is 21, 000. thats still a shit load of lobsters.

  • Why am I watching a lobster give birth?

  • @DormantInsanity we have lobster farms in philippines

  • love u lobster. . .amazing

  • see? they dont abort their babies...

  • @P00PST0MP NUTRIENTS FOR TREES! FEED ON THE PROTEIN FILLED BODIES OF THE DEAD!!!

  • @P00PST0MP lol yeah IF suicide is legal, how does that change ppl committing suicide? oh sry am I gonna get fined if i commit suicide? fuck you.

  • @cadburycaramel if suicide were made legal, people could do it peacefully and quietly by robotic injection during sleep or by swallowing one of those astronaut pills. instead, suicidal inclination lead to years in confinement in sanitary asylums with forced electroshock and fuck-witted thugs like you mopping up the blood and piss from the floors.

  • @P00PST0MP hahahaha how does suicide lead to years in confinement you fucking idiot your dead lol

  • @cadburycaramel wow, you really have the IQ of a sack of pig testicles. if you try and commit suicide and fail or if you're caught within the midst of the act you go to a psych hospital and it's worse than fucking jail, fuckwit.

  • @cadburycaramel In addition to the comment about mental wards, people could also legally seek assistance with euthanasia services being publicly available to those with terminal illness or even those who choose to end their life due to other personal circumstances...

  • @swkninja Ok well i think i can safely say that no one that has ever had suicidal thoughts has ever reconsidered because it's illegal... I mean really? as for people with terminal illnesses, it happens a lot. look up right to die. The cases go to court, and judges decide if they should die or not. As for people with personal circumstances... it's as simple as just sitting in the garage and leaving the car on.

  • @P00PST0MP How does abortion even come into this.. Its a fucking video of lobsters and there larvae... Plus Fuck all you religious fucks... First of all your religious cause your a follower.. Secondly you have a problem with abortion because your religious... So all in all your all dumb if you believe anyone should be told what to do by someone else.. Its your body, Its your choice, Its your decision. Some people really need to look up GEORGE KAVASSILAS, since its too short to explain me here.

  • @troubledseed i was replying to plazimiciron's comment and being rather obviously sarcastic, you half-witted shitbag.

    you wanna read something turly up your own alley? google HUMANFLOOD, by Pentti Linkola.

    do you even know the difference between your & you're? toss yourself down an outhouse and be damned.

  • @P00PST0MP You have a damn fine point. Here's another: the sole hope for humanity is mass castration.

  • @erotickatana so... just who will serve as our castrators?

    wait. let me answer that for you: machines must never wield such perfect heart.

  • @P00PST0MP It's funny how many people who supports abortion are alive. Did they think their birth was a mistake?

  • @YoyoFlamingo it's even funnier how many people who support abortion are actually members of the living dead.

  • @YoyoFlamingo they probably do if they are wondering why their parents hate eachother and why they didnt have much money growing up and (too many ands but im not focusing on grammar) and why the beaten mother says i wish you were never born, those people, probably wish they were never born. If a parent is willing to abort their child they probably arent ready to be parents in the first place.

  • @P00PST0MP

    have you ever had sex? if so you have MURDERED millions of potentional babies, wich is way worse than abortion, wich would 'kill' only 1 (or rarely 2+) potentional babies.

    i think your mind is sick if you compare suicide with abortion

  • @DIExxENE i think the both of us should be entwined peacefully as one within the aforementioned tower.

  • @P00PST0MP I don't think that anybody who legitimately contemplates suicide has the legal system in mind.

  • @0433850821 that could very well be entirely upon account of the idea that you wield the intel of an ostrich.

  • @P00PST0MP oh common -.-

  • @P00PST0MPT At the time you can have an Abortion the Fedus hasen't Developed a Brain. So Technically you are killing a Vegtable. You saying Smashing a Potato in the Ground is Unacceptable ?

  • @Dambi14 i was referring to suicide. it just seems to me that it should be as legal, an act as readily available as abortion is. they should sell those astronaut termination tablets at every fucking wallgreen's, shelved right alongside all the fucking big tobacco products behind the register drone.

    i openly accept both modes of dealing with this human condition.

  • @Dambi14 that's not true, by the time a baby is ready to be born it has a brain, because without a brain, it would be dead

  • @senorcartgadge You aren't allowed to abort a baby by that time. I thougth that was just Common Knowledge I was wrong

  • @ThePlazimiciron Animals in nature have no reason to abort things. Only humans do because they have to conform to society and if a woman decides not to have a child because she can't support it, doesn't want it, etc.

  • @BlackOps78321 human are animals, probably the most senselessly idiotic of all. and those who abort their own fucking children should be castrated.. with a rusty pair of pliers. and then tossed down an outhouse.

    peace out.

  • @ThePlazimiciron less than 3% survives....your comment is reaaally dumb

  • @ThePlazimiciron Maybe it's because the babies aren't a threat to the mother's health, or a potential burden to the mother.

    Or maybe it's because IT'S JUST A F*CKING LOBSTER!!

    Take your Operation Rescue mentality elsewhere, goon.

  • @ThePlazimiciron true but they eat them XD

  • @ThePlazimiciron no they don't abort their babies, they only give birth then totally abandon their babies, leaving them to wander alone in the deep oceans of the world, having to avoid being killed and eaten by predators...btw people need to stop transplanting human emotions/behavior onto wild animals...hell not even wild, animals in general.

  • @ThePlazimiciron ...oh my god...oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

  • @ThePlazimiciron :but they don't take care of them either. 

  • @ThePlazimiciron lol Nah, they just feed'em to everything that's hungry within a 50m radius

  • I should hope it's less than 3%. I'm not ready for the lobstrocalipse.

  • @LordOfTheGnus "Lobstrocalipse"? More like all you can at Red Lobster!

  • 0:57 haha less than 3% survive

  • @TheSilleGuy Case when username fits its owner 100%.... "haha" indeed!

  • @Travmapunk He said "less than three". And I thought that was funny because if you spell less than three you get "<3". Also, I am called TheSilleGuy, not TheSillyGuy.

  • oh my gosh i don't want to be swimming when it's lobster breeding season....

  • thats 21 000 kids.

  • YUM....

  • 700,000 lobsters. mmm

  • If 3 percent survived, of 700 000 eggs, still 21000 lobsters survive grow into adults. Seems rather a lot? :o

  • "only 3 percent survive" 7% will be eaten by predators, 5% will be eaten by regular people, and the other 85% will be eaten by kings, queens, heads of states, rich people and simply people who would like to think they are rich, but really aren't :P

  • @abhiginimav Since when did rich people eat microscopic lobster larvae?

  • @abhiginimav If you are trying to refer to caviar, you failed, as caviar are UNfertilized FISH eggs, and seeing that these very fertilized eggs came from a lobster, well, you've never been more wrong.

  • @2308194607091978 i was referring to ACTUAL lobsters, not caviar. i know caviar is fish eggs, precisely, sturgeon eggs, otherwise they are just referred to as roe

  • are lobsters and crabs/crustaseans realy just big insects that dwell in the ocean?

    Or are they completely different with no similarities?

    Because I get the same repulsed feeling from crustaseans as when I see insects.

  • @Stovokor41

    They are distantly realated to insects, being in the same phylum Arthropoda, and subphylum Mandibulata.

  • That's a fuckload. I vote we raise lobster and fuckin make that shit cheaper

  • IF IT'S TRUE THAT SO MANY WILL SURVIVE, THEN WHY THE HELL IS LOBSTERS SO EXPENSIVE?

  • @TheHmbrgr probably hard to catch and import if you live in the center of Land :\

  • A new generation of Lobster dinner

  • baby lbs look yummies....

  • lol reproductive blizzard... he means spooge bath

  • Soooooooooooooo.... 2,100 lobsters will live....THATS A LOT O_O

  • @wootness41 Compared to how many that are bored, not a lot.

  • Thats incredible footage

  • Lobster vagina looks gross, especially knowing that I've ate one or two.

  • thats what i call baby mama drama

  • 700,000 BABIES?????!!!!! WTF!!!

    imagine a dog giving birth to that many puppies... *shudder*

  • I was prepared to say "Ew, gross!" by reading the title but you know what? The baby lobsters actually look kind of pretty.

  • Man that's actually kind of beautiful, I mean talk about fragile life, those things are so tiny! Its sad so many die. Lets all hope the beliefs in reincarnation aren't true.. would suck to be reborn a lobster and eaten right after birth!

  • So less than 21,000 of its babies grow into adulthood. Could any of you parents imagine having that many brats running around the house? YIKES !!!!!!!!!

  • the lobsters are probably cuz of the oil spill..

  • wow.. so amazing! :)~

  • cool!!

  • very interesting video...

  • 0:54 wtf is that?

  • they look like little spiders at first.... shudder.

  • 3%? that number sounds too high lol, its probably more like 1% which is still 7000 lobsters which is a crazy ammount... i need to figure out how to keep lobster larvae alive so i can lobster farm, lol who ever figures out how to do that is rich, lobster usually sells for at least $30us a tail, 7000x 30= 210000 dollars when they reach maturity in a few years, and you could have several stages of growth in different tanks, so u could make that ammount every year minus tax and upkeep costs

  • 1% Is 700 you fucking retard.

  • the description says 700 000... now, get your calculator and divide 700 000 by 100 or multiply 700 000 by 1% and u will find the answer is 7000... think twice about calling som1 a fucking retard, especially if u have the wrong answer... it doesnt make you look to bright

  • the narrator sounds eerily like glenn beck.

  • 3% of 70,000 is 21,000?! Its a wonder this isnt a more dominant creature.

  • Yeah I thought that too when a lecturer showed this video to my class. I should have asked him if/how this is the case.

  • Cock.

  • cock.

  • Fuck you Ste!

  • Cock.

  • No it is not. 3% is 2,100...

  • you are correct but i think propterhawk meant to type 700 000, which was in the video description

  • i wonder if this possible to have this mother give birth on a private, supervised water, so that 50% of the babies live...

  • Three percent of 700,000 is still way too many kids.

  • Damn they start out small.

  • poor lobster : ( ..but it's the rule of god after all

    eat to live ^^

  • =3 Wheeeeere's the buttttter!!

  • Ummm question what does white chics have to do with lobsters giving birth??

  • To get to the other side.

  • nothing really..but that warlock guy was all..lobsters like mexicans always having babies...leading into the other stuff..

  • they way lobsters die by humans is sick, i don't eat them, that's my choice

  • No one cares about your choice.

  • ...or your insensitive comments.

    Geez, lighten up. I'm sure YOU have some things you care strongly about, don't you?

  • So,the need to eat to survive is sick?

  • I remember when my ex-wife gave birth to our first lobster baby, there was Fred the Lobster standing in the corner with a smirk, I should have known then, that bastard.

  • Hey! the baby lobsters looks like the small robot(forgot name) which steal info and data in Transformers 1.

    Geez, hardly believe those like tiny plastic things will grow into real lobsters.

  • National geographic needs a new narrator desperately.

  • ROCK LOBSTER!

  • 21,000 survive - not bad.

    MAINE lobster is best meal you can have.

  • If you took that lobster, and made it hatch in your tank... YOU'RE RICH!

  • by pointing a gun at its face.. yes.. i see what you mean.. like: HATCH BIATCH or you DIE

  • you would think so right? but i the larval form of most creatures dont take well to tanks so i dont know if they would live

  • maybe if they all survived lobster would be cheaper.... ffs $40 for an entire thing.....

  • lol, maybe :D

  • true I love lobster miam miam.I think we should breed them in a big ass pond.I mean 7000 babies. those grow and you mulitply this by 10 .

    I am hungry

  • Each mom releases 700,000 babies. Not 7,000. At least if we had a huge area to breed lobsters, the price may go down. Lobster is expensive!

  • then give them some power thirst to get 400 more

  • Lobster babies are so pretty! I've seen this before in another documentary.

  • larval buffet

  • cute

  • Wow, that's incredible!

  • Imagine if all 700,000 of them survived and there were no predators?

  • well if there were no predators then the sea would be filled to the top with lobsters.

    but in the case that 700,000 o them all surviving then ehh. the florida branch of red lobster just got a whole lot cheaper.

  • hey hey..dnt start with the racial things..it's just a lobster. k?

  • @Jesvel18 how can ppl be racist about it, ur fucking retarded
