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's unique colors are due to a mixture of chemical compounds. She is joining other nature's Halloween ambassadors like spiders, bats, and oozing fungi.

Jackie is a calico lobster and the odds of catching a crustacean like this are about one-in-30 million

According to Sierra Munoz, the Marine Science Center outreach coordinator, this makes Jackie even more rare than Neptune the blue lobster, with odds of one-in-two million.
