14 DAY TRIAL // A fisherman from Scotland has bagged a very rare find, an orange lobster. He found the unique crustacean off the west coast, on the Isle of Coll.
To be fair, Innes Henderson's catch is not one of a kind, although he has beaten odds of one in ten million.
Henderson has given out the lobster to the Deep Sea World in Fife. Spokeswoman Tina Coventry explains that this could be the result of a genetic mutation, as the orange color is not seen in lobsters unless they are being boiled.
“We often get calls from people claiming they have found something unusual - however, in this case, Innes really has discovered a true rarity. [...] According to the University of Maine's Lobster Institute, this type of colour mutation is extremely rare,” she says, as reported by the Mirror.
