Rare orange lobster

A rare orange lobster was caught off the coast of Maine last week. The lobster, which is one in 30 million, was caught by lobsterman Jeff Landry. Landry said he was surprised to see the orange lobster when he pulled it up in his trap.

""I've been lobstering for 20 years, and I've never seen anything like it,"" Landry said. ""It's a beautiful lobster.""

The orange lobster is thought to be a result of a genetic mutation. The mutation causes the lobster to produce a protein called astaxanthin, which is what gives the lobster its orange color. Astaxanthin is also found in other animals, such as salmon and shrimp.

The orange lobster is now on display at the Maine State Aquarium. Aquarium staff say that the lobster is healthy and is adjusting well to its new home.

The orange lobster is a reminder of the incredible diversity of life in the ocean. It is also a reminder that even the most common things can be rare and beautiful.
