NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - In May, News 3 introduced you to Freckles, a rare lobster who found a new home at the Virginia Living Museum. Now, you can see him in person this Fourth of July weekend!
Experts say the vibrant orange and black shell pattern challenges these lobsters survival in the wild since they are no longer able to camouflage with their natural habitat.
The curiously-colored crustacean recently caught the eye of the cooks at a Red Lobster in Manassas, Virginia.
