Aquarium receives rare yellow lobster

A RARE yellow lobster has been donated to the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts, by a seafood wholesaler in nearby Salem. It was caught by local lobster fishermen and then added to a collection of other brightly coloured lobsters which were orange, blue and one that was orange and black.

The odds of catching a yellow lobster are estimated at 30 million to one. The creature will now live out its days hiding in the rocks at the aquarium. A few weeks ago, on the other side of the Atlantic, an even rarer blue lobster was caught off Scotland, saved from the pot and sent to an aquarium in South Wales.
