An extremely rare mutant lobster with two cutting claws has been accompanied by a second with the same mutation.
Usually lobsters have two types of claws ( one for cutting and one for crushing ) but in these mutant crustaceans both of them have two cutting claws and no crushing claw at all. The two lobsters were found within weeks of one another making their union a highly unusual and rare occurance.
A million-to-one freak lobster with two cutting claws caught in British waters has found a friend in another mutant crustacean -- with two crushing claws. Lobsters usually have one cutting claw and one crushing claw - which are each used to catch food such as crabs.
