WELLS, Maine — A Wells lobsterman has caught a four-clawed lobster, but this one’s not going into a pot of boiling water.
Zach Donnell tells WMTW-TV that he’s keeping the lobster and feeding it.
Donnell says he will probably donate the unusual creature to the Maine Department of Marine Resources in Boothbay. However, the office is closed for the season, so he’s still working on contacting state officials about his find.
He should breed it, and sell them. I bet theyd be a HUGE item in the stores!
picture?
How did he use 4 claws to catch the lobster?
Could call the Boston Aquarium!
We should send everything cool and neat to Boston mabey the people will stay there
Global warming is real.
Hard to keep denying the facts.
Global warming is real but what would that have to do with a 4 clawed lobster?
Ummm, wild guess here: an attempt at humor?
Right. The way I understand it, the Gulf of Maine is becoming more acidic as it absorbs carbon dioxide pumped into the air from burning fossil fuels. So the extra carbon dioxide is making it more difficult for organisms like clams and lobsters to create their shells. Scientists are concerned that as the centuries go by, shells will continue to get softer.

Maybe I missed something……….. Exactly HOW is “global warming” responsible for a lobster with 4 claws?
Trying to be funny.
Global warming is the cause of everything dontchaknow?
No, it’s still all Bush’s fault.
Global Warming has been conclusively linked to people missing sarcasm in Internet article comments.
yum

Here’s a link for a pic
It looks like a 2 clawed lobster with a third deformed claw imo
Probably a thalidomide baby.
Global-Warming-Climatey-Changy is real! The evidence with this four clawed lobster is overwhelming!
Pics or it didn’t happen.
That ain’t nothin’, up in Caribou we got four tailed beavers.
In Disgusta, they gotta Penguin with half a brain :)
Another Maine rarity is the four balled tomcat. I have always heard of them but never have seen one.
Does it glow too?
pics or it didn’t happen
This would not be a good final boss for Mortal Kombat.
Clone that sucka’.We could all use more claw meat on our lobstas
Its that global warming thingy that they preach about….I tell ya, LOL
We are not surprised to read this. In 1951 a classmate from Port Clyde told me that the boy who sat next to her in the school bus had four hands.

Robert, very good indeed!
Clever… yet ever humble.
where is the picture?
butter
Note to “writer” : Yeah, I immediately leave these “interesting” articles without pictures via google image search and then leave it alone. No pic, I’m gone within a second.
I won’t believe it until I see a photo of the lobster.
It is Christmas so it should be Santa Claws, not Four Claus…
Still waiting on a picture,everyone has a camera these days and if you dont a kid has one you know,I’m not denying it and I’m not saying it’s true but a picture would be great.
Okay, which of our food companies have been working on Genetically Manipulated lobsters or just a natural result pollution dumped offshore?
Good God, this will mean another numb Saturday Night Live skit about Maine!
