When I First Looked At This Picture,

I had to look at the date to see if it was the 1st. of April!

after all it is not that often you see a two tone lobster, (I said tone not ton!), but that is what Dana Duhaime, from Beverly, a seaside community 20 miles northeast of Boston, caught in a lobster pot last week, the rare creature has been donated to the New England Aquarium in Boston, the colour variation is known as a split and is considered to be rare as it allegedly happens in only one in fifty million lobsters,


but a few others have made it into the news over the years, like this one featured on the 17th of July 2006 caught in Maine by Alan Robinson in Dyer's Bay, it is a typical mottled green on one side, the other side is a shade of orange that looks cooked, Robinson, of Steuben, donated the lobster to the Mount Desert Oceanarium, one even made it on to the BBC local news on the 30th July 2010, caught in the UK it finally made its way to Bristol's Blue Reef Aquarium, another was caught off of Nova Scotia reported on the 2nd of May in 2012, but one thing if you look at the pictures on the links some are left hand black whilst others are right hand black, whilst one named Ska, that was featured by the BBC seems to be only quarter naturally coloured, I wonder when we will see the next two tone lobster.
