    I think Leon is mimicking the finger tap you do with his claw to try and communicate with you. Your documentation of Leon in my opinion is good proof that Lobsters are a lot more intelligent then people give them credit for.

    I think the glass tapping is communication. Animals are intelligent in their own way. He knows you provide food, he surely by now doesn't feel like you are a substantial threat, and probably associates you tapping with a simple communication. "Hello, I am here, I see you and I am not afraid, or a threat to you." Very cool. Leon's journey has been so fun to follow.

    I used to have a freshwater crayfish ( Euastacus armatus) that would tap on the glass to get my attention. Then he'd stretch up to the water surface. It was totally food motivated! He associated me with food and realised that by making a ruckus I'd come over and possibly feed him. It got so bad - all he'd do is bash the aquarium glass whenever we'd walk past.

Lobsters, if left alone can live as long as 100 years. They can recognize other lobsters and remember past acquaintances, as well as have elaborate mating rituals.

    Brady, thank you for another fantastic, relaxing episode in Leon's life. He really is the master of his domain. It's just fascinating seeing his little friends flourish too. Each of them seems to occupy a niche in the tank life which doesn't place them at odds with each other for survival. That's really a special way to observe these creatures. It's startling to think of the contrast- the shrimp reproduce quickly and are "old" at a year, but Leon might live another 100. You show your passion for all living things in these videos and watching them is a treat. Beautiful shots, some relaxing music, and no split-second cuts- I can watch for hours. Best to you and Leon.

    If you happen to tap the glass most often just before you feed him, Leon may have developed a minor Pavlovian response; he sees you, associates you and your tapping with food, so figures if he makes the same tapping sound, you'll dispense some food. May seem a little far fetched for an arthropod, but goldfish and plenty of other fairly small-brained aquatic creatures can be trained this way.

    In the area I live (Sweden, lake Mälaren area) there are not many abandoned houses around, if a house can't be saved it is torn down and replaced. But there are parts of Sweden where it is common. Urbanisation has been ongoing for the better part of the last century, and some former towns up north are slowly loosing the last school, the last health care service, the last grocery store, last gas station. Not enough people to fill the houses.
