Rare albino lobster forages for food
It is estimated that only one in one hundred million lobsters are albino. This is an American lobster, also known as an Atlantic lobster or Canadian lobster. They can reach a length of 25 inches and a weight of 44lbs.
Lobsters vary in color due to pigmentation and they can be bluish green to brown. It is a lack of pigmentation that causes albinism, a rare genetic condition that leaves an animal lacking color completely.
This albino lobster explores the rocks on the bottom, looking for food. They eat live prey such as fish, mollusks, other crustaceans, worms and some plants.
Lobsters are scavengers, using their claws to tear food apart and feed it into its mouth. They have no teeth in their head, but they do have three teeth in their stomach and this is where they actually chew their food.
It is believed that lobsters can live as long as 100 years!
