A mutant crab with three pincers has been fished up in a lobster pot off the coast of Northumberland.
Nicknamed Claude the crab was donated to the Blue Reef Aquarium where experts speculated on how it might have come to be. "'It is possible that somehow Claude's ability to regenerate lost limbs has got confused and, rather than replacing a missing set of claws, he's actually ended up growing an extra pair instead," said Blue Reef's Anna Etchells.
Whatever you do don't mention Claude the mutant crab's third claw. . . he can be a bit snappy. The sea monster, who has an extra set of pincers growing from beneath his shell, was hauled up in a fisherman's lobster pot off the coast of Northumberland.
