A giant lobster has been saved from ending up in a fancy restaurant after the fisherman who caught him decided it was too special to eat.

The lobster measures about one metre in length and weighs more than four kilograms and was caught off the coast of West Sussex.

It is thought that he is one of the biggest and oldest lobsters ever caught off the coast of Britain.

The fisherman thought the lobster was so amazing that he donated it to the Blue Reef Aquarium in Portsmouth.

Lindsay Holloway who works at the aquarium said He is an amazing creature and its quite an achievement to have reached such an impressive age.

Terrapins were once thought to be ideal pets for children and when they are only the size of a 50p piece this may be true.

Many however outgrew their tanks and were dumped in rivers and canals consequently you may be able able to spot one on our waterways.
