A very rare lobster has been found off the coast of England with a peculiar chequered black and red pattern.
Scarborough Sea Life Centre Todd German said: 'There have been unusual coloured lobsters found in the past but he is remarkable because he has two colours separated by a near perfect straight line along the back of his carapace.'
An extremely rare chequered lobster has been plucked from the seabed in Yorkshire by stunned fisherman. The crustacean - dubbed 'Harley Quin' for it's bizarre red and black chequered appearance - is being analysed by marine experts who claim it is a rarity of 50million-to-one.
