Rare Calico Lobster Makes Debut
A 1-in-30-million calico lobster, named Jackie, has made her debut at Northeastern University's Marine Science Center in Nahant, Massachusetts.
Jackie owes her unique colors to a mixture of chemical compounds. She is joining other Halloween-themed animals, such as spiders and bats, as a natural ambassador for the season.
According to Sierra Munoz, Marine Science Center outreach coordinator, the odds of catching a crustacean like Jackie are about one-in-30 million.
- Jackie was caught off the coast of Massachusetts by lobsterman Mike Tufts.
- She is even more rare than the center's other recent star, Neptune the blue lobster, which has odds of one-in-two million.
