原来龙虾这货也有蓝色的来源: National Geographic　时间: 2012年07月11日　作者：就算没吃过龙虾也知道龙虾这东西没煮熟以前是棕红色的，但是图片中这货竟然是蓝色的。开始我还以为是谁ps恶搞的，但是后来一看原来是颜色变异的产物。而且原来龙虾不光有棕红色的，还有千万分之一的概率是红色的；三千万分之一是黄色的；一亿分之一的机会还没准能碰到白化病的白龙虾……

Every lobster reference we have, from playful cartoons to sunburn allegories, leads us to believe that the clawed crustaceans are red.

Not so in the case of Toby, a rare blue lobster caught in May off the Maryland coast. John Guorley, who owns the restaurant to which Toby was brought, graciously donated him to the National Aquarium in Washington, D.C.

Weird & Wild spoke to lobster experts about blue lobsters and the crustacean’s panorama of color variations.

Though it seems the likes of Toby would turn up, well, once in a blue moon, it’s “unusual, but not that unusual” to find a blue lobster, said Robert C. Bayer, executive director of the Lobster Institute, an organization that works to sustain the U.S. lobster fishery. Though the odds of such an encounter run about one in two million, “we see a few every year,” Bayer said.

True red lobsters—not just ones that turn red when cooked—are a one-in-ten-million find. Yellow lobsters, 1 in 30 million. If you find an albino lobster, hang onto it, because those are one in a hundred million. Bayer can’t recall ever seeing one.
