It might be a divided lobster, but it has united New Englanders in fascination.<\/p>\n
A Cape Cod seafood company has donated a rare two-colored lobster to a science center, sparing the critter from the kettle because of its remarkable coloration. The lobster found is the typical brown color on one side and bright orange on the other, and the two-toned pattern goes all the way from its head to its tail.<\/p>\n
Representatives for Wellfleet Shellfish Company in Eastham, Massachusetts, said Monday they have been fielding inquiries about the crustacean for days. The company gifted the lobster to Woods Hole Science Aquarium in Falmouth, Massachusetts, and it will be put on public display when the aquarium reopens, the company said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe lobster is now with Woods Hole Science Aquarium\u2019s animals currently being housed in holding tanks at the Marine Biological Laboratory during the aquarium\u2019s construction period. When the aquarium reopens, the lobster will be on display, offering visitors a rare look at one of the ocean\u2019s most striking natural anomalies,\u201d the shellfish company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
