Three Eyed Wolf Fish Found Near Nuclear Power Plant

Fisherman in Cordoba, Argentina caught a three eyed wolf fish in a lake called Hot Water Jet, which is located near a nuclear power plant. Coincidence?

You've heard of life imitating art, but now a fish found in Argentina resembles something you'd see on "The Simpsons" -- and it's not making environmentalists laugh.

Back in 1990, the long-running series did an episode that featured "Blinky," a three-eyed fish that cropped up near the Springfield nuclear power plant, where Homer worked.

Now, 21 years later, fishermen in Córdoba, Argentina caught a three-eyed wolf fish in a reservoir near a local nuclear power plant, according to Gizmodo.com.

One of the fisherman, Julian Zmutt, said no one noticed the third eye at first because it was dark.

“We were fishing and we got the surprise of getting this rare specimen," reported The Blaze.com. "As it was dark at that time we did not notice, but then you looked at him with a flashlight and saw that he had a third eye.”

The fish bares no resemblance to Blinky, but it is still causing quite a stir.

According to Infobae.com, a Spanish-language news site, the lake where the three-eyed fish was caught is a reservoir where hot water from the nuclear facility is pumped. more
