Sheepshead Fish? NOPE.

You think this is photoshopped? Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s not. The Sheepshead fish, with all its human-looking teeth, is very real, despite me thinking that it must be some sort of Guillermo del Toro creature.

So why exactly does the fish of my nightmares look like this? So it can eat all the things, duh.

A fully-grown adult sheepshead will have well-defined incisors sitting at the front of the jaw, and molars set in three rows in the upper jaw and two rows in the lower jaw. It has strong, heavy grinders set in the rear of the jaw too, which are particularly important for crushing the shells of its prey. As with humans, this unique combination of teeth helps the sheepshead process a wide-ranging, omnivorous diet consisting of a variety of vertebrates, invertebrates and some plant material.

Thankfully, this fish is supposed to be super tasty. So, I will assert my status as the top of the food chain and, the next time I see this thing, I’m going to eat it*.

    After dinner you can leave the fishbone under your pillow at night and make some serious bank off the Tooth Fairy.

    This image is even creepier when you realize that this fish absorbed its twin in utero.

    Hey, at least this one doesn’t have a tongue-eating isopod parasite!

    Despite the odd teeth, which are used to crush barnacles, your right, they are delicious! You can usually catch em by pylons off piers and docks. Strong fish for their size.

    I’ve done some sheepshead fishing. And they are delicious!

    Also known as the Pacu fish. Those teeth are creepy!
