This fellow showed up in a MA grocery store (Roche Bros. in Westborough) shipment just recently. An ultra rare Orange lobster - more rare than a Blue lobster (1 in 30M vs 1 in 2M). He was donated to the New England Aquarium and after a month-long quarantine will make his debut. His estimated age is between 7 and 9 years. Lobsters have a lifespan of approx. 100 years. For those that make it all they way, they usually weigh around 40 pounds.
The rarest colored lobster which I have posted photos of previously are those with no color: White. This occurs in approx. 1 in 100M.
