A rare yellow lobster with extraordinary yellow shell has been caught off the coast of Maine and has been lovingly named Banana.This yellow lobster is found one in 30 million lobsters, according to the Marine Science Centre. This rare yellow lobster is yellow in colour because of genetic mutation.
The creature was caught from Gulf of Maine by a fisherman, Marley Babb,who later donated it to the University of New England. Lobster shells are typically greenish-blue or brown, but certain proteins occasionally cause one to have a blue or yellow shell, according to the Maine Lobstermen’s Community Alliance.
The yellow colour comes from a pigment in the lobster's shell and the odds of catching one are about one in 30 million.This lobster's first pics and its information published on 6th February 2021.
