Rare orange lobster escapes cooking pot


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Being brightly coloured and standing out from the crowd is not always a good survival strategy for animals.

But a bright orange lobster has its unusual colour to thank for its escape from the cooking pot, after the man who caught it decided it was so rare it should be kept in a zoo.

Anglesey seafood merchant Tristan Wood knew lobsters were usually dark brown and only change colour once cooked.

The chances of catching an orange one are about one in 30 million, he said.
