Saved by the Shell

Lincoln is one lucky lobster! His ghostly white shell saved him from winding up on someone's supper table. Fisherman Bill Coppersmith caught the rare, all-white shellfish in Casco Bay, Maine, last month. He says Lincoln "just glowed" in the water. Lobster shells are usually brown and turn bright red when they are cooked. This month Lincoln will be auctioned off to an aquarium, where he will live out the rest of his days.
