Incredibly Rare Blue Lobster Caught In Maine And Donated (VIDEO)

Beautiful (And Rare) Blue Lobster Caught By 14-Year-Old

No, it is not your screen. This lobster is actually blue.

As Newsy reports in the video above, 14-year-old Meghan LaPlante of Scarborough, Maine caught an incredibly rare blue lobster with her father over the weekend. In fact, the lobster is so rare, the chances of snagging one are one in two million.

The LaPlantes, who are part of the Miss Meghan Lobster Catch company, have nicknamed the lobster Skyler (how fitting) and have donated it to a Maine aquarium, according to ABC News.

But why are these marine crustaceans blue in the first place? Watch the video above to find out.
