We (I) here at Zooillogix have a thing for lobsters. It involves Belgium, pasta tongs, and a Dutch boy named Lourens. I'll leave it at that.
Anyway, this mutant lobster was pulled out of the briny depths near Newport, RI earlier this month. Lobsterman Patrick Marks sometimes releases lobster "when they look at him funny" and so this almost-Pokemon-character was returned to the sea after a day-long publicity tour.

Two-toned lobster.

Last week, an unusual two-toned lobster was captured off Newport, RI. This lobster is so rare that a person only has between a 1 in 50 million to 100 million chance of capturing one. By comparison, the odds of finding…
A couple of weeks ago we brought you the classic interweb hit from circa 2000 - Lobster Magnet.
Well now we bring you what might be our greatest interview ever. Forget about Jane Goodall and eminent biologists, today we have the sacred words of Ben Apgar, co-creator of Lobster Magnet. When we…
When it's served at Long John Silvers! I just saw an ad for LJS' new "Buttered Lobster Bites," basically a carton of popcorn-chicken-like-crustacean-parts for $2.99. Careful listeners may have paused when they heard that the lobster was "real langostino lobster." Huh? Now I know my lobster. In fact…
Have you ever had a large lobster? I mean, a really large one, like five pounds or more? They are hard to get these days. Most of the good Maine Lobsters (and all lobsters are Maine Lobsters unless otherwise specified) come from Maine in the US, and Maine has a rule that you can't harvest large…
That thing could give you a heck of a pinch!
A fine lobster tail you tell. The extra claws turned out to be a release clause!
Returned to the sea? Forget about it. Introduce to the pot. Extra butter.
Wowwwww. . .creepy.
or as we say down East,lobstahhh
There's been a mutant lobster bonanza the last couple years.
Is someone doing a study to find out if this sort of thing is increasing? We've got blue lobsters, fuzzy white lobsters, two-tone lobters and it's only a matter of time before one comes out with a handlebar mustache and a "Mom" tattoo.
That's Clawbster, which evolves into Clawking when it reaches level 32.
I used to work at the seafood department in a chain supermarket. Someone once asked me "Why do your crabs only have a blob of meat at the ends of two of their legs" I said "Do you mean the claws?"
To that, they replied "Yeah, whatever they're called. Why don't you order crabs with claws at the end of all their legs?"
I told her those aren't available this time of year.
I think I love you, Gary! That's hysterical!
I would think this the result of a "developmental insult" rather than a mutation. To me, mutation implies a change in the genome, which I doubt is the case here. Probably more developmental insults in the sea these days than there used to be.
BIGGGGGGG creepy!!!!
We hold this bug istanbulda fish caught by fish network .... very good, but it can not tell a superior number of animals is very low.

select 20% black as the second swatch and remove the border. When you adjust this gradient, start in the middle of the fold shape, hold Shift, and drag out to the bottom right of the fold at a 45 degree angle.
