Instead of the dining room table, a rare, bright orange lobster has found a new home at Odysea Aquarium.
Staff at a Japanese restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, discovered the unique lobster, contacted the aquarium, and donated the lucky crustacean after realizing the rarity of their find.
Odysea Aquarium said due to its bright coloring, the lobster would be an “easy target” for predators in the wild and would likely live longer in an aquarium.
An orange lobster was about to be a meal at a local Scottsdale restaurant, until kitchen staff noticed something was off.
