Mutated Lobster

On day 1, we traveled to the Department of Marine Research in Booth Bay, Maine. We went into a wet lab where many sea creatures, fish, and sharks were held for research. In the wet lab we got to touch sea cucumbers, sea anemones, baby lobsters, crabs, and starfish. We saw many different mutated lobsters such as this half red, half brown one above. While this is the most common "half and half" mutation to find, is is still very uncommon and special. Some lobsters are half blue and red, or blue and brown, or even blue and yellow. No matter what color, they all turn red when cooked.
