Very rarely lobster can have different colors than normal. One out of 4 million lobsters is in a light blue color and one out of 30 million is yellow. This happens due to a genetic disease.

With my blog I try to present short entertaining facts about animals, buildings or lots of other categories. Personally I like the fact accounts on Instagram and all the weird aspects of nature you normally would not believe. About finding a fact - I think of a topic - for example an interesting animal and then I start my research and learn about it's details and habits. When I find something interesting I will concentrate the knowledge into a few sentences and publish it here. The images taken are free to use from pixabay. Not sure if you want to see more of my Blog? Here are some of the awesome facts that I have already posted earlier:
