Lobster keeps watch on seabed



Divers undertaking routine maintenance work in a harbour have discovered a giant

lobster standing guard over a barnacle-encrusted watch, it has emerged.

The 2ft lobster, which is thought to be

more than 30 years old, was spotted by members of a diving club in Blyth harbour, Northumberland.

On closer

inspection they were amazed to find that the ancient crustacean appeared to be guarding a wristwatch.



Incredibly, on their return to the surface the divers discovered that the watch - a Citizen Pulsar - was still

telling the time accurately to within a few seconds.

Graham McDonnar, a member of the Lady Francis Dive Team,

said: "We've estimated that the watch had to have been under water for at least three years due to its condition

and what's even more amazing is that it's not even a waterproof model.

"We're all highly experienced divers

and none of us has seen anything like this before.

"Not only is this the biggest lobster any of us have ever

come across underwater but it's also the first sea creature we've encountered that can tell the time."

The

lobster has been taken to the Blue Reef Aquarium in Tynemouth where it is settling in well in the harbour tank

display. Blue Reef's Zahra d'Aronville said: "Lobsters are well known for being extremely territorial. "Perhaps it

identified the watch as part of its territory and has been standing guard over it ever since."
