Locals believe that the appearance of the amazing fish is related to the work of the plant.
A resident of the Omsk region caught amazing fish in the Irtysh - two pikes with horns on their heads. It turned out that this happened back in December, not far from the Chekrushevo settlement in the north of the region, near Tara. The catch shocked the fisherman himself, he showed it to his fellow villagers. And the news of the catch instantly spread throughout the area.
Locals retell from mouth to mouth: the fisherman caught two mutant pikes. The large, 14-kilogram, had two outgrowths-thorns on the muzzle, and the smaller one, 7-kilogram, had 4 horns. They resembled the fish with their kind of dragons.
The villagers, of course, actively discussed the miracle fish they saw. The old believers, of course, blamed everything on the devil. Others, younger, are sure: it's all about ecology.
- We have an industrial, mining and processing, enterprise, who knows what they are pouring into the river there! - One of the residents of the Tarsky district said to Komsomolskaya Pravda. - Ecology, we are so-so. A lot of children are born with pathologies. Maybe the mutant pike was also born due to emissions.
Scientists would love to study the strange catch of a fisherman from a distant village, but they say that he did not disdain and sent the caught pike for lunch.
