Ever Heard of This Weird-Looking Fish with Human-like Teeth, Known as Testicle Biters?

Mom did not warn us to stay close to the shore unless we are up to finding whatever lies in the deep. Explorers have recently made a discovery of new specie that might be the closest to the human kind. Meet Pacu, probably a close relative of a Sheephead!

These creepy looking fish is found lurking from South America, to Brazil and Florida. Nonetheless, they can also be found in the freshwater Amazon Rivers and Streams.

Although the Pacus have a close resemblance with the Piranhas, their jaw alignment actually differs. Piranhas come with pointed and sharper teeth while the Pacus have squarer, straighter teeth, like a human, causing either a less severe underbite or a slight overbite. A full-grown pacu are also much larger than piranha, reaching up to 0.9 m (3 feet) and 25 kg (55 pounds) in the wild.

Yikes! Just look at those!

Although Pacus may be quite intimidating, they are actually vegetarian by nature and prefers to chomp on fruits, nuts and selected fishes. Thank God!

For the record, Pacus are NOT Testicle-biters. It was mistaken for a gross legend carried from one generation to the next. Everybody say cheese… Your testicles are safe!

Would you dare eat this one of a kind? They certainly did! Bon-appetit!

Sheepshead Fishes are believed to be the long lost brothers of Pacus. they dominate the Salt Waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

A full-grown pacu are also much larger than piranha, reaching up to 0.9 m (3 feet) and 25 kg (55 pounds) in the wild.

This one’s called the “Convict Fish” mainly because of its striped skin and wittiness in primarily stealing baits. Pretty clever huh?
