Piranhas with Human-Like Teeth Found in Michigan


Ew, ew, ew, ew ew!!!!

"A South American fish with uncannily human-like chompers has been unexpectedly showing up on Michigan anglers' hooks.

"The fish are red-bellied pacus (Piaractus brachypomus) and are piranha relatives, though their diet is mostly vegetarian. Pacus are popular with aquarium owners for their unusual square teeth that look remarkably human —rather disturbingly so, in fact. But recently, pacus have been sighted in places where they shouldn't be: Lake St. Clair and Port Huron in southeastern Michigan, where three pacus were caught during the month of July."
