Cheddar and Biscuit: 2nd ultra-rare orange lobster rescued by Red Lobster

Unbelievably, Red Lobster has rescued two orange lobsters in the last few weeks.

Consider this a sign that Red Lobster might want to think about changing its name to Orange Lobster.

Last month an ultra-rare orange lobster made headlines around the world when attentive Red Lobster employees in Florida spotted the brightly coloured specimen in their daily live lobster shipment and saved him from becoming a meal.

The lobster, who staff named Cheddar for his one-in-30-million crustaceous colour and as an homage to the chain’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits, was passed on to the Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach, which promised to study the lobster and give him a good, protected home.

Unbelievably, for the second time in a matter of weeks, another one of the unusual lobsters has been rescued from a Red Lobster — this time in Meridian, Miss.

The best part? They gave him the name Biscuit, to match his friend a few states over.

Biscuit, just like Cheddar, is heading to a Ripley’s Aquarium, this one in Gatlinburg, Tenn.

“With the statistic ‘one-in-30 million’ starting to raise eyebrows, Ripley’s Aquariums is setting out to study these animals and better understand this anomaly,” an Instagram post by Ripley’s Aquarium said.
