ANNA MARIA ISLAND (FOX 13) -
It weighs just as
much as an average 1-year-old, but already it's getting ready for retirement.
That sounds like
the life of "Mango" the 15 pound lobster.
"Mango"
is the newest resident at "Lobstahs" Resturant on Anna Maria Island.
He may be the
largest Maine lobster in Florida, the average weighing about a pound
in a half.
Mango is almost 10
times bigger than that.
He is estimated to
be around 50 to 60 years old.
"He's going to retire," said
AnnaMarie Carroll. "This is going to be his permanent living spot, at Lobstahs."
Mango is worth $500,
but no amount of money could take this guy from his new home.
He will live the
rest of his lobster days in a salt water tank at Lobstahs, living on a diet of
shrimp and codfish.
The
public can come visit Mango during normal business hours.
