The lobster shrimps found in Sarawak are somewhat expensive compared to the ones from the Malaysian peninsula because most lobsters are found in crocodile nests. Sarawak is known to as the crocodile state, as almost all rivers have crocodiles. It is believed that many lobsters in the rivers attract crocodiles to inhabit the rivers in Sarawak.
