(capecodtimes.com) — A striking half-orange, half-brown lobster caught off Cape Cod is headed to the Woods Hole Science Aquarium instead of someone’s dinner plate, thanks to its ultra-rare genetic mutation. The split-color lobster will be on display when the aquarium reopens next year, adding to the region’s marine-science attractions that regularly draw visitors from Falmouth and nearby towns.
