Scientists have discovered a rare perfectly two-tone lobster in the northern US state of Maine.

Lobsterman Jeff Edwards caught the half-orange, half-brown lobster, Metro.co.uk reported.

Edwards, who kept the crustacean to show off to family and friends, took a few snaps of the creature and then donated it to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland- which keeps lobsters in a tank for child education programmes.

According to the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine, the chances of getting a two-tone lobster are approximately 1-in-50 million.
