Lobsters are turning into humans.

0:00:02.110,0:00:02.775
Maybe.

0:00:06.325,0:00:07.575
So check this out guys.

0:00:07.575,0:00:08.684
Look at this picture of this claw.

0:00:08.684,0:00:09.853
Now look at my hand.

0:00:09.853,0:00:11.083
Now back to the claw.

0:00:11.110,0:00:15.110
Now look at my hand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now look at the claw

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now look at my hand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are they turning into us?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just kidding

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Actually, this is a six-claw[br]lobster named Lola

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and she's beautiful just the way she is.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lola was captured in Massachusetts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She's about 10 years old [br]and weighs 4 pounds.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Last week, she was donated to [br]the Maine State Aquarium

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where she'll be able to hang out[br]with some other friends of her caliber.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This aquarium has two other lobsters[br]with deformed claws

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but nothing as amazing as Lola.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So how did this deformity happen?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Well there's two ways

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Either she was born with it which[br]makes it a result of genetic mutation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Or she was in some crazy [br]lobster fight club

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and she lost her claw, and it grew back[br]this way through regeneration

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which would make her the[br]newest member of the X-Men

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sorry, I mean the X lobsters

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The super sea creatures

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I reach out to Amy Hayden Rodri,[br]the aquarium manager of [br]the maine state aquarium

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this is what she told me [br]about lobster regeneration

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
While some lobsters can be born with [br]these kind of deformities,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
many of them have this happen [br]when they have lost a limb

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and are trying to regenerate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The genetic 'message' sent

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sometimes gets skewed or replicated,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
resulting in extra sets of claws,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or in the case of 'Lola' extra 'fingers'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She also says that she has never seen[br]anything like this before

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and the meat of the lobster should not[br]be affected by their deformity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I'm feeling very hungry

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so pass the butter

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No, I'm kidding, I'd never eat a lobster.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They look like aliens. They're aliens.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lobsters are aliens.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
