Makes me think it's time for a lobster dinner

From: Nice News AUTHOR Rebekah Brandes The University of New England has welcomed a special newcomer to its campus, but not one that will be living in the dormitories. An incredibly rare, bright orange lobster joined other multicolored crustaceans housed at the institution’s Arthur P. Girard Marine Science Center on June 5. Sporting just one claw (it likely lost the other in a scuffle with another sea creature), the animal has yet to be named, but its new roommates include a Calico lobster named Sprinkles and a yellow one named Banana, so we’re sure the moniker will be well worth the wait. The female invertebrate was donated to the center by a lucky fishing crew who caught it off the coast of Maine — the odds of catching an orange lobster are about 1 in 30 million, per a press release from UNE. I want mine with both claws.
