A 22-pound lobster caught off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, will be sent to a Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. A scientist at the University of Maine's Lobster Institute estimates that the crustacean, nicknamed Bubba, is around 50-years-old. The lobster has been impressing customers at a fish market in Pittsburgh. Owner Bob Wholey delivered Bubba to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium who in turn will send him to the museum of curiosities. From the Associated Press:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine.
Another group calling itself People For Eating Tasty Animals reportedly offered Wholey a hefty price for the lobster. At Tuesday's price of $14.98 a pound, Bubba would retail for about $350.
