THE MIRACLE OF MIGRATION IN ANIMALS
In their autumn migration,
spiny lobsters stay right
behind their leader. When
threatened, they coil
round into a defensive
rosette, with all the pin-
cers outwards, so that an
enemy trying to attack is
confronted with sharp
weaponry at every angle.

Walking across the sea floor, each lobster maintains contact with the
lobster in front.
