The ‘tattooed’ lobster was found off New Brunswick, Canada.

A Canadian fishing crew have found a lobster with the blue and red Pepsi logo imprinted on its claw, according to The Guardian.

The lobster, found in the waters off Grand Manan in Canada, had been loaded onto a crate, about to have its claws banded when fisherwoman Karissa Lindstrand came across it.

Lindstrand, a Pepsi drinker who drinks up to 12 cans a day, immediately noticed the resemblance to the Pepsi logo.

"I was like: 'Oh, that's a Pepsi can'," she told The Guardian.

"On closer look, it seemed more like a tattoo on the claw. "It looked like it was a print put right on the lobster claw."

It is not known how the logo came to be on the lobster's claw, with theories including the lobster might have grown around a Pepsi can on the bottom of the ocean, or it could have come from a Pepsi box which stuck to the lobster.

But Lindstrand said the logo was pixelated so it couldn't have come from a can, and it was too small to be from a Pepsi box.

It appeared as though the logo came from a printed picture, but water would have deteriorated the paper.

"I'm still trying to wrap my brain around what exactly it was," she told The Guardian.

In her job, Lindstrand often saw rubbish washed up on the beaches or the sides of cliffs.

The imprint on the lobster indicated the magnitude of the problem, she said.
