Pet fish flaunts serious soccer skills in viral video

July 27 (UPI) -- A Brazil man shared video of his pet fish's unusual trick: using its tail to slap a ball out of the water and score a soccer goal.

The Fortaleza man said he discovered his fish's hidden soccer talents when his son dropped a small ball into the pet's tank one day and the fish slapped it out of the water.

The video shows the fish in a small plastic tub next to a miniature soccer goal as the man drops the ball onto the surface of the water.

The fish's first few shots miss the target, but its accuracy improves with practice and it scores two goals in a row.
