A rare blue lobster made its way to a Red Lobster restaurant in Ohio recently, and nearly landed on a customer’s dinner plate. But thanks to a sharp-eyed employee, the blue lobster was spotted in the restaurant’s tank.
Blue lobsters are incredibly rare – only one out of 2 million lobsters are blue lobsters.
The nearby Akron Zoo has since taken over care of the lobster, and is preparing a new home for it.
“The blue coloration of the shell is the result of a genetic anomaly,” the Akron Zoo said.
The lobster has been given the name “Clawde,” which is said to be the restaurant’s mascot.
