   The European lobster (Homarus gammarus) is an invertebrate marine creature with a rigid, segmented body covering called an exoskeleton. It has five pairs of legs, one pair of which is modified into claws for cutting and crushing. Lobsters are dark in color, either bluish-green or greenish-brown/black, to blend in with the ocean floor where they live.
   
   The closest relative of H. gammarus is the American lobster, Homarus americanus. The two species are very similar, and can be crossed artificially, although hybrids are unlikely to occur in the wild since their ranges do not overlap.
   
   Homarus gammarus is found across the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean from northern Norway to the Azores and Morocco, not including the Baltic Sea. It is also present in most of the Mediterranean Sea, only missing from the section east of Crete, and along only the south-west coast of the Black Sea.[2] The northernmost populations are found in the Norwegian fjords Tysfjorden and Nordfolda, inside the Arctic Circle.
