A farmer in Kien Giang, Vietnam, discovered a bizarre eel that had bright pink skin and red eyes.

The farmer said he found the strange eel in a field and decided to keep it in a tank at his home.

According to fishery experts, rare genetic mutations could be the reasoning behind why the eel is a bright pink colour.

Video captured the moment of Vietnamese farmer discovered an eel with a pink body with red eyes in Kien Giang, Vietnam.
According to the man, while he was out in the field, he discovered this strange eel. The eel has a distinctive pink color with strange red eyes that are different from normal eels.
According to fisheries experts, eels have special colors due to genetic mutations, with a rare rate, so they are rarely seen in the wild. Pink eels have been seen. However, the pink eel has a special feature with red eyes.
The farmer said he decided to raise the pink eel in the home eel tank. Hopefully when the eel spawns, it will produce even more special eels.
