I adopted a lobster hatchling for Toby (and named it Toby) a year and a half ago, and found out today that it was released at Fraggle Rock in June.

That would be Fraggle Rock, Mylor harbour, off the coast of Cornwall.* :) It was a diver release, which means a local dive club took the hatchlings down to the sea bed by hand. You can watch a dive video (not from this release) on this page and imagine what it was like to see little Toby wriggle his or her way to freedom.

* Actually Fraggle Rock--it appeared in the opening sequence to Fraggle Rock.

D'aww, lobster hatchling!

And Toby has a good chance of surviving--at this age they apparently mostly just bury themselves in the sea bed.

I must admit, I have eaten my share of lobsters, but I hope Toby the lobster survives to a ripe old lobster age! XD

Sail on, Toby! Be fat and happy!

Toby has good chances of surviving, they say, as at this age they bury themselves in the seabed, mostly. :D

Do you know of any naming gifts of goats? My friend Jeremy loves goats and I'd love to gift him one named after him.

Alas, no. This and the Bronx Zoo's periodic Madgascar cockroach adoptions are the only ones I know of offhand for name-that-animal adoptions. :/
