One of the weirdest and rarest kinds of lobster is the Half-and-Half Lobster. It was so named because it looks like the half is cooked and the other half is raw. It was caught in 2006 by a Maine Fisherman. Only 3 lobster of this kind had seen in the last 35 years. The chance of finding one is estimated at 1 in 50 million. Lobster shells are usually a blend of the three primary colors: red, yellow and blue. The colors mix to form the greenish-brown color of most lobsters. All split-colored lobsters observed havebeen hermaphroditic.
