99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lobsters are turning into humans.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So check this out guys

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look at this picture of this claw

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now look at my hand

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now back to the claw

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now look at my hand

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now look at the claw

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now look at my hand

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are they turning into us?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just kidding

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually, this is a six-claw
lobster named Lola

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she's beautiful just the way she is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lola was captured in Massachusetts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She's about 10 years old 
and weighs 4 pounds.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Last week, she was donated to 
the Maine State Aquarium

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where she'll be able to hang out
with some other friends of her caliber.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This aquarium has two other lobsters
with deformed claws

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but nothing as amazing as Lola.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So how did this deformity happen?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well there's two ways

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Either she was born with it which
makes it a result of genetic mutation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or she was in some crazy 
lobster fight club

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she lost her claw, and it grew back
this way through regeneration

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which would make her the
newest member of the X-Men

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sorry, I mean the X lobsters

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The super sea creatures

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I reach out to Amy Hayden Rodri,
the aquarium manager of 
the maine state aquarium

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this is what she told me 
about lobster regeneration
