Fox News
A new fish species with a mark that resembles "The Eye of Sauron" from "The Lord of the Rings" has been named by researchers in the Amazon after a genetic analysis.
The newest addition to the pacu family was discovered swimming in the Amazon River and has a marking on its body that closely resembles a villain out of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel. Sydney Borchers is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
The Myloplus sauron is a new species named by researchers "as part of an effort to see through the confusion surrounding piranhas and their relatives, and better understand the fish living in and around the Amazon River," the Natural History Museum reported.
