So you think blue lobsters are rare? The New England Aquarium is holding a lobster that’s way rarer than that.
The aquarium in Boston says it has a calico lobster that could be a 1-in-30 million find.
The lobster is dark with bright orange and yellow spots. It was caught off Winter Harbor, Maine, and is being held at the New England Aquarium for the Biomes Marine Biology Center, a science center in Rhode Island.
Aquarium spokesman Tony Lacasse says calico lobsters are quite rare.
Well, while the blue lobsters are rare in the wild, there are several outfits that breed them for display and study. I’ve seen orange lobsters, and I’ve seen a few of the half-and-half morphs as well, I’ve NEVER seen a Calico, pretty cool looking! Follow the links for pictures!
BTW unless the lobster is albino, all lobsters cook down red!
