A rare two-colored lobster has been found off the coast of Maine by a local fisherman who had a 1-in-50-million chance of finding the unusual crustacean.
Captain Daryl Dunham, of fishing vessel Force of Habit, discovered the two-toned "unique lobster" – which appears half red and half black – last week and handed it over to the Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries.

There's a 1-in-50-million chance such lobsters are found, according to National Geographic. The colors of the split-colored lobster "are usually split directly down the middle or in a checkerboard pattern."
The rare lobster is currently on display at the center's Discovery Wharf in Stonington, alongside three other rare lobsters – two calico and one blue – until mid-October.
