These aggressive, super-adaptable critters—originally from the U.S. South but now confirmed breeding in Tilbury and Mississauga—are wreaking havoc on local ecosystems. They devour native species, destroy aquatic plants, and thrive in polluted, oxygen-poor waters. The Ontario government has banned their possession and trade, and officials urge immediate reporting if spotted—these dark-red, spotted lobsters are a serious threat. Don’t buy, breed, or keep them. If you see one, act fast: it’s not just a sighting—it’s a potential ecological disaster. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
