HOLLYWOOD, Flor. — A rare lobster was rescued from a restaurant,
all thanks to employees.

The orange lobster named "Cheddar," arrived in a shipment at a
Red Lobster restaurant in Hollywood, Florida earlier this month.

Employees noticed the lobster had an unusual coloring. They
reached out to Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach.

According to Ripley’s, the chance of finding an orange lobster is
just 1 in 30,000,000.

The lucky orange lobster is being researched before officially moving to the aquarium.
