The company responsible for making new emojis had to change the design for their lobster after an outcry erupted over the number of legs it had.
After seeing the emoji, Maine residents soon had issue with the image's eight legs, because lobsters have 10.

The chief emoji officer at Emojipedia, announced the changes for the lobster on Monday as well as changes for the skateboard and DNA.
👩🔬 👨🔬 Our DNA emoji previously displayed as left-handed. This has now been rectified thanks to many scientists in our mentions on Twitter. Who says Twitter can't fix things? 💕 https://t.co/GdZ3q8405r pic.twitter.com/MJN9Pfg2IO
