Before the onset of World War I, lobsters were considered by people to be the cockroach of the sea, food eaten by prisoners, homeless people, and slaves.\n
But the attitude of aristocracy soon changed regarding these crustaceans and they became one of the foods associated with wealth, power, and high social status.\n
Lobsters, when they are taken from the sea, are usually a muddy brownish-green color.\n
And everybody knows that when they\u2019re cooked they turn a bright pinky-reddish color.\n
Although what most people don\u2019t know is that there are several rare color-morph variants of lobsters out there.\n
In some domesticated animals, such as snakes, many different color-morphs are a normal thing due to years of selective breeding.\n However, in the wild, color-morph variants of different creatures are very, very rare.\n In May 2016 two Canadian fishermen were celebrating their catch of two bright neon-blue lobsters off the coast of Nova Scotia.\n There are many different things that can cause a lobster to be colored blue (or any other color) such as dietary or habitat conditions.\n However, some of these blue lobsters are just genetically blue, which is often a result of a blue lobster parent.\n A blue lobster catch is generally considered an omen of good fortune \u2013 and rightly so.\n Many researchers and scientists believe there to be a one in two million chance of catching them.\n However, some researchers dispute this figure, saying the odds of this are even higher!\n One thing is known for sure though, that these striking blue crustaceans aren\u2019t the only crazy colored lobsters out there \u2013 nor are they the rarest.\n Rarer than blue lobsters are red lobsters.\n Now when they\u2019ve been boiled alive, all lobsters tend to go a pinky-red color.\n But there are live red lobsters out there, and the chance of finding them is about one in ten-million, trouncing the odds of finding a blue lobster.\n Even rarer than a live red lobster, yellow lobsters, or calico lobsters as they\u2019re also known, are believed to be a one in thirty-million occurrence.\n In 2014 one of these rare yellow lobsters was actually rescued from a supermarket lobster tank in America and set back into the wild.\nNeon-blue Lobsters\n
