A first follow-up to the story of buying a Lobster from the grocery store seafood section and rehabbing it and keeping it as a pet. Leon has touched the hearts of many who see what an interesting creature he is. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I mean, look at him, he cleans himself, he cleans his tank, he does the dishes, he keeps everything in it's place, such a good boy.
Had you not taken him, healed him he would've ended in a Pot as someones meal. I think it's interesting that all living creatures can heal if a person really gives time and care. I think it's educational and really kind. Thx
When did you say something that you had to say I mean
Except he’s prob really lonely that tank is basically prison and he can’t interact or mate
@@HigherKaiju well he is better than at the grocery shop for sure.
And who knows, maybe having his more basic needs dealt with without effort is good enough and peaceful for him, maybe not.
We can't know how Leon processes this whole thing, we don't know if lobsters have an idea of a "fulfilling life", but he surely improved in health and overall mood since he was bought.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Leon does dishes, cleans himself and his home, and exercises to retain his grip strength. This lobster is more responsible than I am.
Same bro, same. Go Leon!
We are not worthy!
BAHAHHA YES. HE’S THE BEST LOL
does Leon ever sleep??!!??
Don't forget Leon is G O D
I love how you give him enrichment. You didn’t just rescue him and dump him in a tank, you make his life enjoyable and interesting since he can’t live in the sea anymore.
Why can't he live in the sea?
@@ellap6828 been in captivity for probably a long time, plus a weakened lobster straight out of the store would be prey almost instantly
This lobster won the lottery big time 😅
@@ellap6828 to add on to the other comment, most animals that have been in captivity for a while aren’t released into the wild for the same reason. it’s just not safe for them and it would be cruel to release them at that point since you’re basically signing their death warrant. that’s also the case for animals born into captivity and socialised around humans.
@@ellap6828 animals who have been raised in captivity get too used to humans as their food source, they don't learn how to fend for themselves.
I came on TH-cam to learn how to prune apricot trees and ended getting emotionally attached to a grocery store lobster. Keep the updates coming. Can’t wait to see him in his new home.
I came on to learn how to fix my gas grill. Here we are. Lol
I came on here to learn more about The Great Reset and The New World Order. This is a nice little break 🤗
@@clairemcfadyen6815 lol same guess there’s slight hope right
Ironically, I just got off a 10 hr shift from a tree nursery lol.
I came here from league of legends videos but I’m addicted to this lobster now
I'm very emotionally invested in this lobster.
Hehe me too... what a legend he is rescuing him.. I never order lobster again.. the guilt 🤦♀️
same
Same
Yes, regular updates please.
Me too!
I love how Leon has an opinion on where the empty shells need to be.
Leon never needs to be reminded to put away the dishes or to clean up after himself! 🙉💕
Sure … but does he prefer garlic and herbs of white wine sauce?
His future lobster wife will be so happy! #husbandmaterial
‘It ain’t an opinion it’s the way it’s gon’ be’ lol
@@nmarkert01 no ifs, ands, or guts
I’m from Newfoundland, Canada and growing up my dad would always let me keep pet lobsters too, lol. He bought and sold lobster for a living and had a GIANT aquarium to house them in. I had my own section for the lucky ones I was allowed to save! Leon is definitely 100% a male. We had to know the sex by sight because the females have that delicious orange roe or “cheese” inside people go nuts for. The minute you opened the grocery store box and I saw that narrow tail I said you poor little guy!!! The females have much wider tails to hold all the eggs when they spawn. You never need to flip him over! :) That time when he planted the grass in front of his cave I think he was trying to woo in a female. They are incredible creatures and I enjoyed it as much as you are. I am so in love with Leon!!!! You are letting me relive my childhood and you are so kind to him! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
this is the most wholesome comment I have seen in months
@@Cantoc same here, I wish I could save it somehow
All my faimly Is in newfound land stjhons srea
@@shanescottkristainpower9057 that’s awesome! I live about an hour from St. John’s. Grew up in a small fishing community and just moved to a slightly larger fishing community lol. The city is too big for me!
@@angelawhite2022 awesome
I think you playing with him like that actually helps him with his claw strength. Making him use those muscles that were bound by the grocery store tape. Thank you so much for this update we really appreciate it.
“grocery store tape”
True! I so hope Leon doesn't think it's an attack he seems like a kitty almost
@@crosswired9he feeds him with the same tool. don’t think bottom feeders usually feed each other unless mating lol
This confused me sm
“A few viewers have been asking about Leon.”
No my friend…
The world loves this lobster
Its *OUR* Friend
*O U R F R I E N*
Leon is my BFF, we go to bars and drink every night!
Our life, Our friend
As long as a Leon lives
The heart of the Leon Army will never be broken
If Leon dies we die. The Leon army is expanding. Almost all the world loves this lobster.
I like how Leon sees a shell in a place and is just like “Absolutely not.”
Leon be like substrate "i sleep"
Out of place shell "REAL SHIT"
🤣🤣
lol ikr! leon is not having ANY out of place shells in his home
He's got the OCD
Totally clashes with his feng shui.
Leon is definitely a male Lobster, Im a lobster fisherman from Prince Edward Island. The females look quite different when they reach the size of Leon, very wide tale, and body. with smaller claws and basically 2 pincer claws instead of a large crusher and smaller pincer. they also are usually lighter in colour, with light green and yellow hues.
To really tell, under the tale at the very base are 2 small fins, on a male they are larger and stiff, on a female they are very small and wispy.
You just keep your peepers off our Leon lol
😂
I'm an expert at something too, and I can tell with confidence, that this is indeed a lobster. Just in case anyone needed a confirmation.
I'm definitely emotionally invested as well. I went to send this to my 14-year-old son because I thought he would find it fascinating and he responded immediately with I've already seen it so Leon is famous 😂
The sequel everyone needed
The finale ends in a pot, just kidding hope Leon lives a long life
Hey! Save the comments for the rest of us bucko.
he will live a better life better them his grocery store friends
Indeed
Heck yes
Parents: What are your life goals currently?
Me: Seeing Leon in his new, larger aquarium.
👍🏼🥰
unrelated to the comment, LOUIE DUCK MY BELOVED
Same ☺️
With a cave!! He needs a little house ie, a cave of his own.
I think if it would be possible to take it back to its habitat to reproduce would be the best thing possible
I used to be terrified of lobsters. Even having nightmares about them as a kid. But this video series honestly is so precious. He has so much personality. I was craving seafood recently, now I genuinely for the first time want to go vegetarian.
May God bless you for your kindness to animals, Brady. Wonderful work.
I became a vegetarian 12 years ago after I got my first pet. I have never looked back. It is one of the best things I could have ever done for my body and my soul. I also look much younger than my age, so lots of health benefits.
@@aquasol333nope
Not sure how I went from searching for the perfect Asmr video to put me asleep, to becoming emotionally invested in a lobster from the grocery store… but here we are.
Brady’s voiceovers are so chill though, so kinda fits.
I love that millions of people are gathering around to see how this lobster is doing
And yet I bet a small fraction are vegetarians. :(
But its maybe a Celine Leon after all!
@@BenjaminGoose why does it matter
@BenjaminGoose
Yep :(
I love that you wrote this and that I’m reading it 😢
I yelled to my son, "there's a Leon update!" I was expecting the response "Who's Leon?" but instead I got "If you mean the lobster I have already seen it" We are both pleased Leon is doing well, such a lucky and loved lobster.
leon the lucky lobster will be in my heart forever
Truly sounds like something my son would say! Hahahaha
i feel like ''leon'' the lobster should get boiled and consumed instead of being kept as a pet. It's torture for this animal
Sureeeeeeeee that happened
@@jasondeblou6226 😶
I like it when people consider how animals would feel getting bored everyday
While this is heartwarming, it saddens me to think what happened to all the other lobsters Leon shared the tank with, and all the other lobsters and other animals worldwide who weren't as fortunate as Leon. After all, Leon was picked at random, and could've just as well not been picked to be saved.
Right exactly
I, for one, am never eating lobster again. And going by many other commenters, they're doing the same.
Not animals…literally giant bugs. Pretty sure you wouldn’t get attached to a giant cockroach.
@@scottpayne7575 In one short comment, you demonstrated an incredible illiteracy in both English and biology. That's impressive.
I can't believe I have to say this, but:
1. Bugs are animals.
2. In the phrase "other lobsters and other animals", the "other animals" does NOT refer to lobsters; it refers to OTHER ANIMALS.
@@scottpayne7575 something tells me I’d be more attached to a worm or a dung beetle than you
Every person deserves someone who loves them as much as this man loves this lobster.
Are you the real Walshy? If so it was so good seeing you on the halo streams this weekend you're a childhood GOAT of mine
HIS NAME IS LEON DUDE
Agreed.
Yes.
Agreed. And I love your Halo content dude.
"a few viewers have been asking how Leon is doing"
Understatement of the year
Right? So modest.
It's crazy to see how quickly Leon recuperated. In his first video he looks near death, so starved he immediately starts polishing the substrate.
And now look at him, the curious little fighter :D
Rewatching the Leon series and something that stood out to me was when you mentioned that releasing Leon wasn't practical. You're absolutely right, I just wanted to expand on the why a little more :). In South Carolina, you're actually a little south of the American Lobster's natural range. American Lobsters like cold, rocky water, just like what you'd find in New England down through around Virginia. Being dropped in the sandier sea of the Southeast would be pretty jarring for a species from further away. I grew up in Maine and spent a lot of time out on lobster boats as a kid, so lobsters have a special place in my heart :)
Leon is almost certainly male, considering the narrowness of the tail. The swimmerets (pleopods) in general are not a good indicator of gender. Only the front two are appreciably different between males and females.
I think he'd also be a lot happier with a cave or other shelter. He's gotta feel pretty insecure out in the open all the time. This will be especially important when it is molting time.
Finally, Leon will also probably be happier if you can chill the water a bit, since 65 deg F is quite close to the stress threshold temperature (68-70 deg F) where his systems will start shutting down. I think he'll also live longer at a cooler temperature. BTW, if you turn him loose in the Carolinas, he will almost certainly die when the ocean water heats up in the summer.
Great info here! Thanks Doc!
I hope he can read this
Great response
Wow this is some good info!
To the top with this Leon saving advice!
It's incredible how popular this guy has become over the simple act of rescuing and caring for a lobster. A tale both quite relatively mundane yet wildly lovely.
You're cutting Leon short though, it's his personality that makes the show
It seems a lot of people had the same desire to take a supermarket lobster home as a kid.
I love how you’ve saved this lobster. Look how the colour of his shell has changed! Please, please, with the bigger tank give him an environment! Live plants, a coral box he can hide in, and LIVE fish, clams, etc. Don’t feed him dead stuff. Continue to play with him, maybe some balls or something.
Ooh. Very good suggestions!
you can see how excited he gets when the owner came to feed him😆 so glad to see he looks way healthier now
"doing his chores taking out the dishes"
in your previous video he even cleaned the algae from his tank. he is truly a responsible lobster
LOL! That's what I was thinking. He's cleaner and more responsible than many humans!
Why is he cleaner than I am
DONT WATCH MY RECENT VIDEO
Omg he is amazing
A distinguished gentleman
Leon's living the best life possible under the situations presented to him in his life. *High five*
He needs a wife now. Maybe not :lol:
He needs a cave. It’s an otherwise great start.
Yep he was almost dinner!
@@alb12345672 I wouldn't recomend that. Lobsters are loners and very territorial. The reason they bound Leons claws in the shop with rubber bands is so they dont hurt each other with them. Also lobster are known to be cannibals.
@@Cookie_85 indeed sir well said
Leon is just so much fun to watch, especially with the voiceover telling us the little technicalities of Leon’s life that turn out to be so interesting. Also, the music is lovely.
Bravo Brady. You are humanity at its finest.
My wife and I have rescued many animals and sea life over the years. It's an amazing experience and awesome for your soul
Cheers
Brady
For leon to go from no longer even moving when you got him out of the box to actively engaging with everything in his environment and constantly shifting is insane to me. He was clearly depressed and ready to die, his body probably shutting down from lack of food and care.
its so sad that he didnt have any hope :-( he knew he couldnt fight back with his claws because they were banded and he was too malnourished to run away
@@MC-tl5bf he was just like do whatever you will to me. im ready. This man is my hero
Think when u take them out if the water they cant move after awhile so thats why he wasnt moving
@@umargoldberg5759 and he's probably Leon's hero too!
@@umargoldberg5759 kinky
It's interesting that many of us empathize with Leon because he was rescued from death, but at the same time there's death involved with his rescuing, with all of the food that he eats. None the less, it's super cool and fun to watch Leon's rescue!
Lobsters have to, humans don’t. Can’t apply the same principles to animals who act on instinct
@@aak1992 Plus the things he's feeding are already dead, and would've been eaten by somebody one way or another.
It's why I don't care for live feeding with predator animals like snakes. There are other alternatives that result in a quicker, less painful death for the feeder animal (E.G. the cerebral/spinal separation procedure they do on frozen/thaw feeders, which is near instantaneous death), and ways to feed where the predator doesn't know the difference.
When you feed live, it's not any more natural, because it's not a wild predator going out in search of a meal in its natural environment, where there's also always an equally fair chance the prey gets away. It's you going out of your way to make sure something suffers an unnecessarily awful death in an impossible circumstance. The appeal to nature argument here falls flat on its face.
Life and death are irrevocably linked. Nothing changes that.
@@aak1992 i have to eat if i want to live
I don't think I've ever seen what I would confidently say is a fat and happy lobster until now. Way to go Leon! ❤️
I never thought I’d say this about a lobster but Leon seems like a bit of a neat freak lol. He enjoys his tank being clean and organized, he’s constantly grooming himself, etc. It’s pretty endearing.
Boiling them cleans things up pretty good too.
@@bigden31 why are you even here if you just want to boil & eat him?
I know right @pipa little .. Isnt it interesting? Like it looks like hes really trying to clean the clam as it hes doing dishes . and him moving one object from one side of the tank to the other was so funny like " eh I dont like it there.. I'll just move it, here... Yes yes.. That's better mmhmm yup" hahaha so cute 🤣😂
And the fact that he doesnt poop where he hangs out. Like omg could he be any smarter? Hahaha
@@bigden31 savage 😂
I watched the first video of Leon and now I’m back to see how he’s getting on… never thought I’d be so attached to a lobster, but here we are.
Awesome Emily! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️
Me too! 😁😁 Leon is awesome. I am looking forward to many more updates. Is there any way we can buy his/her favorite food ? Thank you ❤
@@Bradybrandwood , the quality of this (early) footage is noticable! Did you use a different camera?
Why did you stop using such good light source?
Go back to this camera anyway, some of the later footage do miss the quality of this one? (Which is rather bizarre, but anyways, good job)🌿
You seem happy with Leon and he seems rather happy with you- given his.... circumstances 🌿
I still think he would be better i. The wide open ocean, no questions asked, but this seems still a bit better than someone's plate 💚🌿
@@Bradybrandwood , rewatched it, the footage is really 1ooox times better in quality! Why, what happened later on?🤔
Also, there's some footage of the ocean and a pier...? So you do live near the ocean??
If so, or nearby, please, please consider setting Leon free, give him back not only his life (as you already did), but also his freedom, please think about it ...🌿
I just misread that as attracted lol
I love Leon!!!! I’m crying again!
I hope he get the tank he wants!
Such a difference from when you brought him home! He’s a happy handsome guy now!
Of note, as he's a Maine Lobster (the kind sold live by grocery stores), Leon's not actually from the ocean environment that you're from. He's from the northern parts of the North Atlantic (Maine, Massachusetts, Conneticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Quebec, and Newfoundland) rather than the more equatorial regions of the southern North Atlantic and the Gulf Coast (Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Carribean, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi). That means that releasing him in the Carolina Coasts would be like setting someone from Europe down in the Phillipines.
I was gonna say, I didn't think they had these kind of lobsters that far south. I've seen some in shallow rocky areas in Maine, if he lived there he could actually release him and give him a good chance
And fun fact, Philippines temperature can go up to 50° C so rip Europeans, even UK people
He should check with a biologist
@@BlazeYT_ As a professional Ireland, I can confirm that we (and Brits) generally can't survive much hotter than Spain or maybe Florida. Humidity in the Nila would kill me :D
@@Noobsaibot21 Florida is crazy humid too you probably wouldn't survive that either lol
Leon looks radiant compared to when you first brought him home. His colors are brighter, and he definitely looks happy. I was the kid that had to be pulled away from the lobster tank, when my mom was shopping.
Indeed! He certainly went deficient after leaving the ocean!
I was that kid too lol.
me too lol
Same
Fun fact: Lobsters can live up to 100 years in perfect condition. Assuming leon is 2-5 years old. he is probably going to outlive 90% of the comment section if not all of it.
Leon is a Character in himself. Amazing thing is he can think and do certain things like a normal being.
When you brought him home, he was depressed, half-dead and likely resigned to his fate that he would soon be gone from this world. But you did something not many of these creatures would ever expect and nurtured him back to health giving him a new lease on life. Leon is very lucky indeed you gave him a new home and a second chance! I am happy that it seems you've decided to keep Leon long term. Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
Well, as we all know, we are happier with a good pal or endearing mate. Have you considered that to be a next Humane step for "Leon"'s emotional life? I myself am very ill, but adopted a 16 LB 1 year old sweet cat, & immediately knew he'd need a friend of his own species since I can't "walk" or play with him. So I put the word out of a ten week old kitten -- Molly loves Juble & Juble seems to really care about Molly!! They'll grow up together & as I hit the drain, they'll never be separated! Maybe a baby lobster for Leon??
Very well said ♥️♥️
@@frannieaperones9066 Lobsters are solitary animals. The only time they are together with others it’s for coupling.
He seems like a very caring person and I’m so happy he rescued Leon from that grocery store ! I hope he makes T shirts with Leon on them and write I LOVE LEON ! I would buy so many of them for birthdays and Xmas presents ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🦞🦞🦞😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
@@frannieaperones9066 I'm sure Leon would love a baby lobster--with a nice Chianti.
ive randomly come across these videos and im hooked on leon. well done Brady for saving his life and showing the world how hes getting on.
He is so beautiful, thank you for sharing his little life with us. And thank you for sparing him.
Somehow I JUST came across the first video of this and as I finished it, you posted an update only 8 minutes later. Talk about perfect timing because i’m INVESTED
Same here!
Me too... spooky lol
Glad I did 👍🏻
I thought it was just me yoo
same
me to!
I never thought it'd be possible to tell that a lobster is happy, but comparing him now to how he was when you first got him, it's clear to see how happy he is!
Your username and pfp are amazing
I think he’s just adjusted to the “dangers” with repetition
Edit: and food. Food is huge.
And it's clear to see what we put these marine life through just for our satisfaction
Leon is one lucky lobster!Meant for some human belly and now has his/her own condo aquarium! Thanks for sharing his/her story!
I am so happy that you rescued Leon from the grocery store and put so much effort into rehabilitating him. My heart felt sorry for him in the first video. But now he seems happy, healthy, busy, and strong! Thank you for your wonderful photography of him. I’ve never had a chance to study the movements and activities of a lobster so closely. He is amazing! I haven’t eaten much lobster in my life, but now I won’t ever eat any again. These critters deserve to live their natural, happy lives.
The oldest captive lobster was 140 years old. I think Leon is going to be with you for a long, long time. This makes me very happy for lil’ Leon.
"was"?
@@catto1297 last time they checked on him 🤣
I think I remember reading something about the genealogy of lobsters making them in theory immortal. The only reason they're not able to live forever is something to do with the fact that they expend energy when they molt their shell and if they continue to get larger and larger they actually will die of exhaustion from molting their own shell
We're going to aid his molting
@@mr.holmes233 yea
I swear his little lobster eyes are shining now, and they weren’t before.
You can definitely tell how happy he/she is ! It warms the soul 🥰
Leon's beautiful!
Yeah, the bright eyes are from it crying because it is trapped in a glass cage for your amusement fool. Yeah, I know it is in the water and you could not see tears...Duh!
I swear your little lobster eyes are shining now, and they weren’t before.
😭❤️
So glad Leon was saved from the grocery store tank!!! What a eye opener to the before and after rescue of Leon. A whole new creature..... Thank you, kind sir for your constant care of Leon, he looks so happy in his new environment you take such good care of Leon. I will be checking in to see his progress ♥️ watching your videos !
I watched your first video last night and this update just now. I almost cry watching these, I am so happy that you saved Leon. In my mind, I named him “Lucky.” I tried to do this years ago, bought two lobsters from the grocery store and was going to save them and bring them to the ocean the following day. I put them in the bathtub overnight. I was too young and ignorant back then to realize that they would die without saltwater. Thank you for saving this lobster, you are an absolute hero to me.
You're like... The Bob Ross of Lobsters.
Calming, interesting, good person.

I love that you did this!! Whenever I see those lobsters in the tank at the stores I feel so bad for them. Seeing them up close and personal, and all the wonderful things you shared is very inspiring, thank you🙏🏻💕🌻
I think what you did for Leon is awesome. Glad he is doing so well. I find it amazing what he actually does so thanks for sharing.
Only a suggestion: lobsters can relax or calm down much more easily by hiding under things. Maybe you could build him a shelter with rocks or dry wood. Also he could climb them like a parcour or move them to keep himself busy when he feels bored :)
He is planning on doing that!
he mentioned he planned to do something exactly like this when he is going to get the bigger aquarium
I used to have a crayfish and I can totally confirm this :)
Yeah was just thinking it's a very barren aquarium
Agreed, he would need a bigger tank to do that
How much he changed physically from a depressed food to a pet full of life .
Yeah he really did just seem done with everything when he was in the box. Didn’t even try and climb out or anything.
@@Bradybrandwood Awe this makes me sadder =( he really did accept his fate and had given up. I'm so glad you shared this video and have given him a nice home. It's so wholesome and heartwarming! As long as it doesn't stress him out, please put more shells in there for Leon to move around in the next video lol! I enjoy watching him internally think "well THIS shell doesn't go here" and promptly moves it away! Lol. I enjoy watching him with the shells from tidying up his "dinner plates" (he really does look like he's washing them with all his legs) to saying NOPE to any out of place shells! He's so neat
Thank You for loving Leon. He is wonderful.
So glad you got a new home!❤
I look forward to following Leon’s progress. I love that he was rescued from the grocery store. He’s the luckiest lobster ever!
Maybe I'm projecting, but Leon looks so happy!

Watching him here, after watching him in the first video where he had pretty much given up, makes me so happy. He seem bright and happy now. Full of personality. You are an angel for taking so good care of Leon 😀 👍
Great update. I can't wait to see him in his new tank. I would think twice before releasing him too, not only what you said but he could end up back in a store again and how sad would that be. He seems happy enough and will be even happier in his new bigger house.

11pm here, and I’m watching this incredible story. Glad to see Leon is doing well. Keep us posted with more videos.
This is onle of the most heart felt videos I’ve seen in awhile! Leon is awesome!
Never realized how malnourished/starved and sick lobsters were at the grocery store tank. Leon gave me a new appreciation for how cleanly and beautiful the lobster really is. Can’t wait to see his new BIG home and maybe some friends.
It's completely off point, but wouldn't it taste better if it had a good diet?
(I want this one to live, but still)
The truth is, ALL animals raised in factory farming conditions are treated badly and most are in poor condition.
@@User31452 I believe it. I saw on Seaspiracy on Netflix how they swim around in a tiny circle, swimming in and eating each other's poop all day.

He has got some POWER in those claws. As to releasing him: No... holy crap no. Alot of lobsters like him are farm raised and thus haven't had to make it out in the wide world he'd get himself eaten. In terms of happeist outcome Leon has scored the best ending he could ever hope for.
Leon has done so well, I'm glad to meet him or her
Not to mention, that is a northern lobster which is a cold water animal, this gentleman lives in South Carolina. If he tried to let it go in the ocean, that lobster would die anyway due to the temperature difference.
@@nicklenights yeah, temps in winter can be as high as 80F with sudden cold to hot to cold changes. Not the best outcome, I guess. It's like ppl releasing gold fish into a lake 🤦🏼Never understood that.

@@kaiva245 I'm gonna be honest it was total coincidence lmaoooo
Even if you could take Leon to a remote coral area where other lobsters of his variety live, it would be a waste. The other lobsters would soon tire of hearing him tell over and over about his brush with death and how he ended up in a luxury resort where he was fed daily with great food. None of the other lobsters would believe him, and soon no others would come around, and when he came upon a group of lobsters, they would quickly spread as if they had some other important things to attend to. Leon would still be a loner. He would wish he could return to watch the cats and the pretty fishes on the other side of the room. At least where he is, he knows he has a friend.
Awesome!
Why am I crying over a lobster 🦞
😂😂😂 Yup!
I was apprehensive at first but then your comment got funnier and funnier and it made me laugh
This is a Disney movie script
It must be wonderful to watch this incredibly complex creature in motion,it beats television hands down ! Brady you obviously have a love and deep respect for the ocean,its a pleasure to watch him,thank you!
Lots of love to Leon and thank you for saving him.
Leon just eats, sleaps and groom himself. Hes basically an underwater cat.
Buahaha!!!🦞🐱😂
So that's why I instantly fell in love with him/her! 😄
Don’t forget the yoga
Can't do much else in that small empty tank, he doesn't even have a branch to hide under.
@@annainspain5176 its still better than the boiling pot he was going to go in.
As someone who has kept various fish and crustaceans over the years, I am happy to tell you he definitely knows you’re playing with him, lobsters are very smart in actuality. He’d be a lot more aggressive if he thought you were attacking him. Feeding him with the same tool you “fence” with as will reinforce that for sure and I’m absolutely sure that Leon is a happy lobster.
@@pepwaverley2185 Yes! I’ll stand by that all day everyday. Every living thing deserves to be treated with love and respect. And Leon the lobster obviously has plenty of both!
@@pepwaverley2185 Covid has shown humans are a lot dumber than I could have ever imagined. no animals wear a face diaper at the grocery store...
@@alice_lewis then you're going to hell for stepping on all those ants, my friend 😂
@@odin1313 I mean the masks help prevent the spread of illnesses that spread via droplet infection for the most part, not wholly effective of course. funnily enough I was always wore a face mask before covid hit since I am immunocompromised (even the flu can do me in). One nice benefit to wearing a face mask is it keeps your face warm out in the cold (stick to high quality sports masks or cloth ones). Also if you want to grow a beard and hide the awkward stages. I think writing people off as dumb for wearing a face mask seems a bit unfair to them. I do agree that its dumb to wear a facemask outside with not much people around since its healthier to breathe fresh air though.
Ngl I'm pretty surprised at how intelligent they seem to be. I used to love watching them in the tanks at the grocery store when I was little, but since they were probably malnourished, they didn't do a lot of moving, so I never got to see how they actually act. It's honestly really cool
I can watch this for ours....and a great calm/relaxed voice you have! Greeting from the Netherlands!
Awwwww I remember Leon looking so scared and skittish when you took off the rubber bands and now he’s just living life
I'm so happy for Leon when he came from the grocery store he looked sad, tired and had no color. Now Leon looks alive and just looks happy. His colors look so beautiful. This is beautiful to see.
god made a cool looking big prawn
He is so pretty
The right one is not working properly
Made me feel bad and shi
He is breathtaking, I've printed out a picture of Leon and framed it
Not releasing him doesn't seem like a big deal. He seems very happy and I'm sure will like his bigger tank. He's got a much better life with you than being someone's dinner. It's amazing to see how much color has come back to his shell.
Plus Leon might have never lived in the wild to begin with, he could have been from a lobster farm. So he might not survive very long in the wild anyways.
You’re a such nice person to rescue Leon 🙏🏼❤️
Leon completely made my day. Your narration put the biggest smile on my face. Thank you for the videos sir!
He looks so much stronger and healthier. The way he is walking around he's clearly gained a lot of strength and dexterity. Go Leon
I love Leon
@@cici2562 i love leon too
I gain these in Lost Ark and it's a great feeling
Strength only
maybe it's just me but I feel like he's now more colorful too, especially his antennas! A sign of a great recovery
Yeah, will his shell change colors, I feel like that may be a result of captivity, or it could seem like a natural ocean water thing, as his shell isn't too bright and has a bit of growth on it. Are barnicles a negative thing? Idk
Leon story
th-cam.com/video/tkM50X7Sz2I/w-d-xo.html
@@Helpadoggoreachsubs youre not funny
Oh no he is. That was immediately noticeable in the first video he made on Leon. With aquatic animals like this, them losing a lot of color is usually a sign of depression, thus why when "rescued" or getting taken in by a caring person, they often will over time brighten up and gain far more prolific colors than they had when first adopted/taken in/rescued, alongside their much happier, more energized behavior. You quite literally save them from their depressions. Of course, also proving again, they do in fact feel and understand complex emotion.
@@Helpadoggoreachsubs DOUCHE
Oh my gosh! Having just discovered Leon's story, I am so pleased to see you have multiple Leon vids! My new fave lobster
Thank you for saving Leon and taking such good care of him!!
You’ve made the internet fall in love with a grocery store lobster and everything about that is just fantastic.
this is what the internet was designed for, specifically.
The fact that he let's the grabber go when "playing" leads me to believe he understands you're not attacking him seriously.
I agree. Lobsters are apparently very smart. I read some random articles a while back that they are right up there with octopus
The fact of it is he has the brain size of the tip of a ball point pen. It the same size as a grasshopper. I don't think he is thinking a thing. Not one thing. He's instincts tell him to eat and not get eaten. He is grabbing at those togs because he might get eaten by them.
@@patstokes7040 I love the thought of them not having any thoughts themselves
@@patstokes7040 but like most animals they retain the instincts of what is safe. Compare how he reached to the net vs the grabbers. He is much more calm and relaxed with the grabber, vs the fear and wild energy he expressed when the net was introduced.
@@noneyabuizz9749 he was used to the grabber
I think you are doing the right thing keeping him with you as you clearly are looking after him well… good for you 👍
Great Videos. Leon is a lucky guy. He is bringing much enjoyment to all of us who watch. Thanks for rescuing this incredible guy and sharing his progress.
My kids are really attached to this lobster. They ask me every once in a while about how the lobster is doing.
Oh my goodness! That's adorable! I wonder if they'd ever want one, haha!
U should get them one for their birthday or something 😀
Growing up my family and I raised a bright blue lobster named Blue Lady and it was so fun, they’re beautiful creatures
Get them a little crayfish
Like the person above me said, you should get them a little crayfish
Leon looked like he was ready to die when he got him you can see the life came back into him. This is great!
Yess this lil fella is a game changer 😇
Is it bad that all I can think about is how much better he probably tastes now
