A lobsterman in Maine caught a very rare two-tone lobster this week. The little critter was split right down the middle, with one half a typical greenish color and the other half a bright red tone. The odds of finding such a lobster are between 1 in 50 million and 1 in 100 million. The reason that such an unusual color scheme is even possible is that each side of a lobster actually develops independently; in this case, one side simply lacked the blue pigment that would have darkened the red side.
The lobsterman, Alan Robinson, donated the lobster to the Mount Desert Oceanarium in Maine, which has only had 3 two-tone lobsters in its 35 year existence.
