Researchers at the University of New England welcomed its latest addition - an orange lobster - to its collection of rare, multicolored crustaceans Monday, university officials announced. The unusually colored lobster is a one-in-30 million find, the university said.
Lobsters are typically a dull color when alive and only get their signature red hue after being cooked. Genetics does influence lobster shell coloration, which is where multi-colored crustaceans get their unusual colors. The still-unnamed lobster also offers a unique opportunity for academics and students to study how a lobster grows its new claw in real-time.Also unique about this orange lobster, other than her incredibly rare coloration, is that she is missing a claw," Alan Bennett, a public relations strategist at the university, added. "So faculty and students have a rare opportunity to study how her claw will regrow in real-time.
"We suspect that the lobster was stressed during the transfer," Tilburg noted. "We have a much more sophisticated system for the transfer now."
