The incident of a fisherman in North Carolina, USA catching a fish with a mouth full of human-like teeth is going viral and attracting a lot of attention from the online community.
Jennette’s Pier, a famous fishing spot in Nags Head, North Carolina, posted on its Facebook page photos of a guy named Nathan Martin posing with a sheepshead weighing more than 4kg. that he just caught at this location.
The post captioned with the hashtag “#BigTeethBigTimes” received hundreds of shares on social networking sites.
Many people have commented, expressing surprise and excitement and at the same time pointing out the very human-like features of this fish’s teeth.
“It was a really good catch and the fish tasted really good,” Mr. Martin told McClatchy News.
Sheepshead fish has the scientific name Archosargus probatocephalus. This is a flat-bodied sea fish with a sharp dorsal fin. Its gray body has black stripes running along it, looking like the clothes of a prisoner in prison, so it is also called “prisoner fish.”
This fish is known for its special and very large teeth, allowing it to eat everything from oysters, mussels to other crustaceans.
This fish is often found in coastal areas, including North Carolina./.
