Bizarre: Fisherman Catches Fish with Green Eyes and Wings (Photo) -Wapvibes247.com

Some fish look odd, but a mysterious, green-eyed fish recently pulled out of Nova Scotia’s waters is downright bizarre, LiveScience reports.

The fish measuring nearly 3-foot has a long pointy nose, a long narrow tail and two prominent fins that bear a resemblance to the wings of a bird.

The fish was caught by Scott Tanner. “Everybody was just like, ‘Wow, that’s weird, never seen one of those before,'” said Tanner, who is a fisherman from Nova Scotia. “It was super-long, longest one I’ve ever done.” 

The fishermen didn’t catch the fish on purpose. It was part of the bycatch during a fishing trip for redfish and cod, Tanner said. The fish wasn’t moving when Tanner saw it, and after taking its photo, he watched a conveyor belt on the boat whisk it away and drop it back into the ocean.

But, after Tanner finished the job and returned home, he researched the fish online. It looked like a knifenose chimaera. He posted his photos to Facebook on March 4, and they went viral.

The Daily Mail called it a “terrifying ‘alien fish’ with wings and glowing eyes,” and dozens of articles were written about the unusual gray creature.
