Is that surprising? I would expect lobsters to be aerodynamic since they evolved for moving through water.

My husband's fun fact is that apparently they're bodies are hydrodynamic backwards because to swim they sweep their tail up in front of them. So it's better for them to be hydrodynamic in that direction.

Video of how they swim.
