   Australian Rock Lobster is actually crayfish, not lobster as it has no pincers. But in 60's it's exported to US and crayfish was mistaken as crawfish (muddy jumping fish), so they changed the name as rock lobster to get over that.
   The lobster change their colour depending on their habitat and season, the same lobster can be in red, black or pink at different time and place.
   Another interesting thing there was that they weigh the lobster using electronic weighing machine, and it'll be inaccurate if the lobsters craw or jump around. So what they do is to spray some 0'C water onto the lobsters for 15 seconds and they'll go to sleep, then them get weighed and put back to water and they'll wake up again.
