The discovery of a bright orange lobster off the Galway coast has raised eyebrows in the county ahead of their showdown with Armagh in today's All-Ireland Senior Football Final.

The rare colour is due to a genetic mutation, similar to that of albinism in humans, which sets it aside from almost all other lobsters.

The lobster is currently on display in Oceanworld Aquarium, Dingle.
