Yellow lobster caught


A rare "yellow lobster" sits among normally pigmented lobsters at Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham, Mass., on Cape Cod The female lobster, named "Fiona" by owner Nathan Nickerson, was recently caught off the coast of Prince Edward Island in Canada.

Specialists tell The Boston Globe it's called a "yellow lobster" and it's one in 30 million and specialists at the New England Aquarium say a rare genetic mutation produces the yellow color.

Chic,
Funny.

Readers, is this animal now humiliated because Chic want's to eat it? Or has he made it feel good because he say's it has a "great taste?"
