Fisherman Catches 2-Tone, Gender-Bending Lobster

Posted by Hemos on from the wonderful-evolution dept.

sbowles writes "A lobster fisherman out of Halifax Nova Scotia has caught a 2-coloured hermaphrodite lobster. The ocean oddity is a first for Murray Townsend and his crew. 'I've seen lobsters of different colours, shades and with different markings, but nothing quite like this.' The animal has been donated to the Bedford Institute of Oceanography."

    Well if it is a hermaphrodite, then it has the traits of a gay man from soho. "Honey I'm here to conquer the world" *two snaps*

    I'll be the first to admit that I scan this site.

    But, the first time I read the title... I swear... I thought it said two tons.

    That would be a hell of a meal!
