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."

    Actually Lobsters are rarely red until you cook them. Greenish Brown and sometimes all blue are more common in the Maritimes (Atlantic Canada).
