Rare 1-in-100M ‘Ghost Lobster’ Goes to School to Help Scientists Crack Genetic Mystery–in Time for Halloween
A rare white lobster, with a 1-in-100 million chance of being found, is being studied by scientists at a marine science center. The lobster, named Casper, will help researchers understand the genetics behind unusual lobster colors. The study uses noninvasive methods to collect genetic material without harming the animal.
A very rare white lobster was donated to a marine science center to help scientists study the genetics of unusual lobster colors. The lobster will be studied using noninvasive methods.
The study could provide insights into genetic variations in marine life and help scientists better understand how rare traits develop in animals.
The story highlights a positive, scientific effort that respects animal welfare and contributes to knowledge in a meaningful way.
