The X Files Fearful Symmetry (1993– ) watch online HD

Mulder and Scully investigate strange occurrences when an invisible forces seems to wreck the downtown of Fairfield, Idaho and an elephant from the local zoo is found lying on the highway some 40 miles away. No one at the zoo can figure out how the elephant got out of its locked enclosure and animal rights activists have been active in condemning the way the zoo treats its animals. It's not the first time animals have escaped or disappeared from the Fairfield Zoo but when an animal activist is mauled by an invisible tiger, they're dealing with something no one has encountered. When Scully determines that the elephant and the tiger had been pregnant leading Mulder to believes that the animals are perhaps being abducted by aliens.

The producers were initially concerned that the elephant would not run toward the truck for the show's teaser. However, the elephant thoroughly enjoyed the truck and the producers had difficulty getting the creature away from it.

The episode's title comes from a line in the William Blake poem "The Tyger". The fictional construction site where the tiger appears, "Blake Towers", is named after the poet. Blake's Tyger has fearful symmetry because a tiger is both fear-inspiring and symmetrical. Its stripes create a sense or order, but its power and wildness suggest unpredictable violence. God has created a paradox in the tiger.

The hardest part of filming was getting an elephant, which required a permit for the animal to pass the border into Vancouver.

Mulder again demonstrates his knowledge of song lyrics, this time quoting Paul Simon: "It's all happening at the zoo, Scully."

Scully's elephant autopsy is one of Gillian Anderson's favorite scenes in the entire series.

The elephant "Ganesha" is named after the Hindu God.

Alfonso Quijada who plays the young janitor in the opening sequence also played a janitor in X2 (2003). Mystique uses his form to escape.
