Lobsters have ten legs, despite popular depictions of lobsters that only show eight legs. There is even a blog dedicated to “a place to share our frustrations about anatomically-incorrect lobster art, toys, apparel, accessories, and knick-knacks.” Lobsters have eight walking legs plus two claws, for a total of ten legs. Lobsters have chemosensory leg and feet hairs to identify food, and though it may take a while, they can grow back lost appendages. The more massive claw is called the crusher claw, and its pressure has been measured at 100 pounds per square inch. It breaks apart crab, clam, and mussel shells, so its other claw, the ripper claw, can tear apart the soft flesh into bite-sized morsels.
