1
00:00:00,189 --> 00:00:01,781
Lobsters are turning into humans.

2
00:00:02,110 --> 00:00:02,775
Maybe.

3
00:00:06,325 --> 00:00:07,575
So check this out guys.

4
00:00:07,575 --> 00:00:08,684
Look at this picture of this claw.

5
00:00:08,684 --> 00:00:09,853
Now look at my hand.

6
00:00:09,853 --> 00:00:11,083
Now back to the claw.

7
00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:15,110
Now look at my hand

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now look at the claw

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now look at my hand

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Are they turning into us?

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just kidding

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Actually, this is a six-claw
lobster named Lola

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and she's beautiful just the way she is.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lola was captured in Massachusetts.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She's about 10 years old 
and weighs 4 pounds.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Last week, she was donated to 
the Maine State Aquarium

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where she'll be able to hang out
with some other friends of her caliber.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This aquarium has two other lobsters
with deformed claws

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but nothing as amazing as Lola.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So how did this deformity happen?

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well there's two ways

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Either she was born with it which
makes it a result of genetic mutation

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Or she was in some crazy 
lobster fight club

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and she lost her claw, and it grew back
this way through regeneration

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which would make her the
newest member of the X-Men

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sorry, I mean the X lobsters

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The super sea creatures

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I reach out to Amy Hayden Rodri,
the aquarium manager of 
the maine state aquarium

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this is what she told me 
about lobster regeneration

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While some lobsters can be born with 
these kind of deformities,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
many of them have this happen 
when they have lost a limb

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and are trying to regenerate

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The genetic 'message' sent

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sometimes gets skewed or replicated,

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
resulting in extra sets of claws,

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or in the case of 'Lola' extra 'fingers'

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She also says that she has never seen
anything like this before

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the meat of the lobster should not
be affected by their deformity

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I'm feeling very hungry

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so pass the butter

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No, I'm kidding, I'd never eat a lobster.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They look like aliens. They're aliens.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lobsters are aliens.

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All right guys, that's it for this episode.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Be sure to check out our other 
episodes over here

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and let me know in the comments what
you guys want to see.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

and we love it

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I want to do what you want to see

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All right, well, I'll see you guys tomorrow

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
