Florida man is bitten by nurse shark that won't let go, acts like it's no big deal
The strange incident took place in Jensen Beach, and the shark in question would not let go of its grip on the man’s arm, not even when he stepped out of the water.
What a catch!
On Friday, a 13-year-old fisherman in Plymouth, Mass., found a blue lobster.
Blue lobsters are so rare that they only occur in nature “about once in 200 million,” WickedLocal.com reported Thursday, citing the University of Maine Lobster Institute.

“I’d seen YouTube videos of blue lobsters before but never thought I would catch one,” he told the website.
“I was confused and excited,” he added. “I couldn’t believe there was a blue lobster in the trap.”

According to the website, restaurants will pay up to $500 for blue lobsters to put in their displays.
Typically, Carpenter sells his lobsters to a buyer at a local wharf, but he is considering a different direction for his rare catch.
“I might give it to the New England Aquarium,” he said. “They’ll give it a good home.”
