Why are the lobster and scorpion similar in shape?

Best Answers

So, how similar "lobsters" and "crabs" are to each other depends on what kind of lobster and what kind of crab. Squat lobsters and hermit crabs are closely related. They're both in a crustacean group that is often called "Anomura." Spiny lobsters and Dungeness crabs are less closely related, and so less similar. read more

It's definitely not the 1st one (whip scorpion), the shape, stance and build are all wrong. 2nd one is slightly closer, the body shape looks similar (and I think mine had "plates" on the body like that) but the legs are wrong unfortunately. read more
