Ural fishermen continue to show off their catches this season. In late September, on the outskirts of Pervouralsk, near Mount Pilnaya, they managed to catch an unusual goldfish, a two-tailed mutant.
The fishermen caught him with a net and for a long time could not believe their eyes.
“While resting on the shore, the fishermen took a fair amount of alcohol that day,” the user Dr. Riboedoff on the urochishe.ru portal. - The first of them, to whom the two-tailed fish fell into the hands, at first thought that he saw double in his eyes from "bust". But the comrades confirmed that the crucian carp really has an extra tail.
The left tail of the fish looks more powerful than the second and, most likely, is a continuation of the spine of the fish. And the right one seems to be "sewn" on the side, the fishing lover argues.
According to him, two-tailed is by no means an unusual phenomenon in the fish world. But in most cases, such specimens have a double caudal fin (feather), and in the Pervouralian crucian carp it was the caudal peduncle that turned out to be double.
- The fish is not thin at all, and, therefore, the second tail did not at all interfere with the fish to live and eat fully, as well as escape from predators. Unfortunately, he did not help her to avoid being captured, continues Dr. Riboedoff.
True, the fishermen forgot to put their unusual catch in the freezer. As a result, by morning the fish had died and ended up in the trash heap.
The fish was not thin at all, the second tail did not prevent it from moving and eating normally

Most likely, the fish's left tail is an extension of the spine.
Thanks to two tails, the fish easily stands on the abdomen
