Catch of the day: rare gold lobster saved by attentive cook in Rhode Island
Briefly

Calvin, an exceptionally rare gold lobster, was recently saved from being cooked at the Nordic Lodge Restaurant in Rhode Island. Discovered by a keen-eyed cook amidst other lobsters, Calvin's unique genetic mutation renders him a striking yellowish-orange color, making him one in 30 million. Recognizing this rarity, the restaurant quickly decided to donate Calvin to the Biomes Marine Biology Center for display. The quick actions of the restaurant staff ensured this unique creature would be showcased rather than served as dinner, promoting awareness of marine biodiversity.
