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."

    The tsunami was in the Pacific Ocean, and this thing was found in the Atlantic Ocean more north of Maine... I highly doubt it's due to the tsunami.

    And it didn't wash up on shore, it was caught in the traps they use.

    In Soviet Russia only old Koreans welcome a beowolf cluster of our new 2-coloured hermaphrodite lobster overlords.
