Golden eel with number-like markings found in Phayao pond
Residents of Ban San in Tha Champhi subdistrict, Mueang district, Phayao province, are abuzz after a unique golden eel was found, with markings resembling numbers on its head. The 54 year old resident who discovered it, Phaiwan, expressed surprise, having never seen anything like it before.
The eel, weighing nearly half a kilogramme and measuring 50 to 60 centimetres, was caught in a pond by Phaiwan on the morning of January 21. The distinct black markings on its head, resembling numbers, have led locals to believe the eel could bring good fortune.
Rather than releasing it or cooking it, Phaiwan and the locals have decided to keep it in a glass tank.
Phaiwan recounted how he had placed a basket in his pond that morning. Upon lifting it, he discovered the striking golden eel inside.
Weighing close to half a kilogramme and stretching over 50 to 60 centimetres, the eel’s unique appearance caught his attention. The black spots near its eyes, resembling numbers, were something he had never encountered, reported Khaosod.
