BUFFALO, N.Y. — A local lobster has a new home now at the Aquarium of Niagara.
Tangerine, a rare orange lobster, was donated Wednesday from the Batavia Tops to the Aquarium of Niagara.
Representatives from the Aquarium of Niagara met some employees at the Tops location to accept the grocery store's donation.
Tangerine will now serve as an ambassador along with two other lobsters named Larry and Blue. Larry was donated from Tops back in 2020, and Blue came from Wegmans.
“We have seen that our visitors have become increasingly less interested in goods and services, and instead seek out interactive experiences,” Aquarium of Niagara executive director Gary Siddall said in September. “Ambassador animals provide educational and inspiring experiences that inspire future scientists and foster a desire to protect the aquatic world.”
