Different types of fish have different types of teeth. Some fish have big sharp teeth, like sharks.

These teeth are 100% normal.

Sheepshead Fish Teeth

Fish With Human Teeth

Although not very common, Sheepshead fish are native to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast of the United States. So when they are unexpectedly caught, the Sheepshead fish teeth usually catch people off-guard.

If you ever encounter one of these fish, do NOT put your fingers anywhere near their mouths. Sheepshead fish teeth are so strong that they can bite a metal fishhook in half. In addition to their row of teeth along the outside of their mouth, the roof and bottom of their mouth are also covered with teeth. They use these ultra-strong teeth to crush open hard-shelled sea creatures like crabs, clams, and oysters.

Pacu Teeth

Another fish that’s famous for its human-like teeth is the Pacu. Normally native to South America, the Pacu has been either introduced or migrated to other areas including France and Papua New Guinea. Although the Pacu is related to Piranha, they are mostly vegetarian. Pacu is also much larger than their Piranha cousins. An adult Pacu can weight as much as 88 lbs.

Weird Fish With Human Teeth
