3 rare 1-in-30 million lobsters found on Long Island

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (PIX11) – The chances of finding orange lobsters are 1 in 30 million – and Long Island has three of them.

Clementine the orange lobster was rescued from a Stop & Shop in Southampton.

Two other orange lobsters were discovered after Clementine’s sighting. One was found at the East Setauket Stop & Shop, while the other was at Northport Fish & Lobster .

The lobsters, who are likely Clementine’s sisters, were named Tangerine and Navel by Humane Long Island.

The lobsters were released back into the wild in the Long Island Sound, where they can hopefully have a family reunion.
