OMG! Fish With Human Teeth Caught in Russia

Yes, you heard that right! A fish with "human teeth", which was caught by a fisherman in Russia, is grabbing headlines across the world these days.

Aleks Korbov, 50, caught this fish having full set teeth resembling that of humans during a fishing trip on the Northern Dvina River.

According to Aleks, he caught it on September 29 and it was already dead. He soon noticed the bizarre human-like teeth and was shocked.

Aleks then contacted the Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, where the guys too admitted that they had never seen anything like this. They performed autopsy on the fish and carried out some examinations in order to solve the mystery.

They found that it's a Pacu, a member of Piranha family. They are tropical freshwater fish indigenous to South America"s Amazon River, which is why locals in Russia had never encountered one.
