A BIZARRE fish with what looks like human teeth has been caught by baffled fishermen after they discovered it in a lake thousands of miles from its home.A news report in the UK Mirror written by Kara O’Neill Ron, stated that Rossi and his son Frank were fishing in a lake in Delran, New Jersey in the United States when they caught the odd-looking fish.

At first, the pair thought the fish might have been a piranha.

Frank said: “I’ve never seen anything like that before in the lake. It was different.”
But on closer inspection, the fish’s teeth weren’t pointed and sharp like a piranha’s – but actually blunt like a human’s.

Ron added: “We did pull the bottom lip down to see what they looked like and they have almost human teeth.”

After some research, Ron and Frank discovered that the fish was actually a Pacu – that is usually found thousands of miles away in South America.
Pacu are actually related to piranhas – but unlike their meat-loving cousins, they are actually omnivorous.

But how they have ended up in a lake in New Jersey is still something that has the fishermen baffled.

A spokesperson from the Department of Environmental Protection said “Many times, these fish are deposited into lakes by pet owners. These fish do not survive in colder water, so we encourage people not to release it into the wild.”
