Three-Clawed 'Mutant' Crab Caught

A "mutant" crab with three pincers has been caught off the Cornish coast.

Fisherman Jeff Brown caught the 20cm (7.8in) edible crab three miles off Portreath and realising its rarity, handed it into a Newquay aquarium.

The aquarium believes Claudette's ability to re-generate lost limbs became confused and, rather than replacing a missing set of claws, she grew an extra pair instead.
