— -- This is something you don’t see every day.

A split-colored lobster was brought to the Pine Point Fisherman’s Co-op in Scarborough, Maine, last week, the Portland Press Herald reported.

The lobster is half-orange and half-brown, dividing the animal almost perfectly straight down its tail. It has one orange claw and one brown claw.

This rare find was a one-in-50-million occurrence, according to research by the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine in Orono.

The institute reported that only the albino lobster is rarer than last week's find — a one-in-100-million catch.
