Blue Lobsters Are Actually Mutants
Red lobsters are the norm at seafood dinners. You'd probably freak out if any other color of lobster was served. Yet, there are blue lobsters in the world, and they're not poisonous or spoiled. They're just incredibly rare! To put it into perspective: Just in the Gulf of Maine, there are around 250 million normal lobsters. But only about 2 million blue ones exist worldwide. You're probably wondering: What accounts for their blue hue?
It's all a rare genetic mutation, as these things often are. They'll likely survive and grow as a group over time. They look too unappetizing to boil!
