A Maine lobster that is half-blue, half-brown AND half-male, half-female has gone viral. Jacob Knowles, a lobsterman with 2.6 million TikTok followers, named the heterochromatic, hermaphroditic crustacean Bowie after David Bowie and is looking for a science center or aquarium to adopt it. Knowles’ videos of the rare creature have racked up millions of views since he posted them last week. “This is the coolest lobster I’ve ever seen,” he told his followers.
