Some people eat lobsters. I don't know much about them though. How long do they live?

Lobsters can live for about thirty years, but their life spans are highly dependent on the circumstances of the animals' lives. They're especially sensitive to stress, temperature, water quality, and the availability of food.

Seems like they are at the bottom of a lot of other animals, in the food chain.

That's right. For instance, the most common lobster food is shrimp. A lot of people don't realize that lobsters don't just catch and eat shrimp. Shrimp are a favorite meal for lobsters, but they also eat mussels, crabs, and even other lobsters.

Kind of like snails and slugs, who will also eat their own smaller kind. Omnivores for snails, although lobsters, do they pair bond?
