Koala rescued after causing 5-car pileup on Australian freeway, and more of this week's weirdest news

The koala later was released in a forest — well away from the freeway.

A rare yellow lobster, named Banana, has been caught off the coast of Maine

A rare yellow lobster has been caught off the coast of Maine and has been lovingly named Banana.

The University of New England (UNE) said in a news release that Banana was caught by lobsterman Marley Babb and donated to the university on Wednesday. The yellow color comes from a pigment in the lobster's shell and the odds of catching one are about one in 30 million, according to the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine.

A Navy meteorologist lost his wallet in Antarctica and got it back 53 years later

Retired Navy meteorologist Paul Grisham had long forgotten the wallet he lost while stationed in Antarctica in 1968, so he was surprised when someone returned it to him two weeks ago -- 53 years later.

He was also surprised by how young he looked at his old ID card that was tucked inside.

Paul Grisham's wallet still had his ID card and other memorabilia from his service in Antarctica.
