The BBC2 ‘Secrets of The Aquarium‘ series last year, showcased the dedicated work of the National Marine Aquarium as we support vital conservation and look after over 5,000 amazing marine animals. An incredible 1 million of you watched per episode. We’re speaking with Andrew, one of the stars of the show, to discuss Larry the Lobster, and the trails and tribulations of prepping an exhibit for his big move!
In the show one of Marcus, our curator, has a plan for renovating the exhibits in our Seagrass Walk. This means moving resident lobster, Larry. Lobsters love their caves and during the episode we follow Andrew as he builds Larry a new cave to make him feel at home. However, once in the new exhibit, Larry ignores the cave and breaks into the mechanism of the wave machine to live there instead. Not the outcome we wanted! Watch below as Andrew explains how Larry has now settled in.
