This rare two-toned red and black Maine lobster is ‘1 in 50 million’

This ultra-rare Maine lobster is becoming a viral sensation.
Black is the new orange in lobster land.

But don’t gather up your lobster trap just yet because the odds of bagging one are one in 50 million — about the same as winning a Megabucks jackpot.

Captain Daryl Dunham, the fisherman who caught the dual-colored sea denizen near some islands southwest of Bar Harbor, has donated it to the Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries. The organization recently posted a picture of Dunham with the critter on its Facebook page, writing: “We’ve seen some pretty cool lobsters in our marine touch tank over the years, but this one might be a first!”

The center invited those curious about the cray to visit the Discovery Wharf to “learn all about Maine’s iconic lobster fishery” and the “unique lobster.”

The post sparked a flurry of reactions, with one commenter remarking, “it looks half-cooked!”

The bi-colored lobster shares a “touch tank” with three other pigment-anomalous animals: two orange “freckled” crustaceans — they’re one in 30 million — and a dark blue variety — one in two million.
