Nadia Stewart, visitor experience facilitator for Dalhousie’s Beaty Centre for Marine Biodiversity, said the offer was potentially life-saving.
“We’re so happy that they think of us when they do find a cool lobster 'cause in the wild they often get predated upon very quickly just because of their standout colours,” she said.
Stewart said Oscar’s mutation occurs in about one out of every 50 million lobster.
“When two of these fertilized unlaid eggs come in contact with each other, it actually causes one to absorb the other, so this creates Oscar, our lobster with two different sets of … genetic information,” she said.
Wow, probably should have been sent to an aquarium.
I like it much better with the last 2 frames included.
Neat
