When the Us elections was already underway and every political pundit worth his salt throwing their weight on either of the candidates, here was one such psephologist who was creating waves with his prediction…literally! While the world was awaiting with bated breath to see who will win the race to the White House, an Indian had predicted victory for Donald Trump. As Chanakya had already predicted about Trumps’ victory over Hillary Clinton by picking up Trump’s boat between Hillary and Trumps boat Floating over his aquarium.

A fish from Chennai named Chanakya III, today opted for the Republican candidate, when the pictures of the two rivals were placed on two boats inside its aquarium. It chose to eat fish food from the boat carrying Trump’s photo for a total of seven times and never touched the one with Hillary’s picture. Chanakya – III is the successor to the similar breed fish Chanakya – II, which died earlier this year and was used to predict results of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 and the Euro 2016 football competition, before Chanakya-III and Chankaya-II the initial fish of their breed was also named as Chanakya-I who also predicted about the Germany’s win in the 2014 football world cup . commendable is that both Chanakya-II and Chanakya-III are the successor of Chankaya-I. The average life span of floral fishes range between 40 and 48 months. Chanakya – III is 30 months old.
Chanakya is a fish who lives in a fish tank at the Indian Community Welfare Organisation (ICWO), an NGO in Chennai. He exercises his expertise by swimming up to the top of the fish tank and picking one of the two choices that are given to him by way of feed sticks, that are lowered into his tank. Each feedstick represents one candidate and the feedstick that Chanakya picks is to be the winner.

Chanakya is being likened to Paul the octopus who had made predictions at the FIFA World Cup in 2010. Chankaya is said to have got all the eight matches from the World Cup football right. Supporters of Hillary Clinton may however take some solace in the fact that Chanakya had been wrong before, more than once. It picked a wrong winner in the World Cup cricket finals where it predicted India to win the cup, which however went to Australia.

Watch how Chanakya predicts Donald Trump as next U.S. President:
