Edward Pothier holds Jay, a split-coloured female lobster, in Yarmouth, N.S., yesterday. The lobster will be kept at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth.

Wow, Jesse Joe that is a beautiful lobster. I am happy to hear they are not going to eat him. :)

Thank you for sharing.

That is one lucky lobster. I guess his colouring saved his (or her) life. :)

Yes for sure Kerstin, thats the reason. :)

Re: Two-tone lobster
 

It makes you wonder just what happened to make it look like that.

Iv'e ask that question myself timetraveler. Dont have the answer, maybe Google Search Engine would have the answer. :)

DSR, you took the words right out of my mouth!! That was my first thought also! I'm thinking that maybe it's a mutated gene? It would be interesting to see if they could breed an offspring with the same coloring.

P.S. Interesting that this story turned up on Martin Luther King's birthday... a creature with two colors. If they hadn't saved it, maybe all the other lobsters would have been prejudiced toward it (hehe) ;)
