An extremely rare orange lobster, estimated to be a 1-in-30 million occurrence due to a genetic mutation, was accidentally delivered in a shipment to a Red Lobster restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado. The lobster, named 'Crush' after the Denver Broncos' legendary Orange Crush defense, was discovered by the restaurant staff, who quickly decided to save it from being cooked. Instead, the lobster was handed over to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver, where it now resides. The lobster was caught off the coast of Canada and its unique coloration makes it a significant find. Denver Broncos fans played a role in naming and saving the lobster.
