This bizzare animal shown here is called a Pacu Fish. I found this animal interesting because it is a fish with teeth that look very similar to human teeth. Since when are there fish with human teeth? When i think of fish i usually imagine them either with no teeth, or sharp teeth. These strange looking fish are actually considered to be cousins of piranhas. The weird thing is that piranhas have sharp, pointy teeth, while Pacus have flat teeth.These fish have a strange diet. They are actually fruit-eaters,and they use their human-like teeth to crack fruits, as well as nuts! I don't think I've ever heard of a fish that eats fruits and nuts. Another strange, and disgusting, thing about these fish is that they have a liking for human testacles! Their have been many reports of men bleeding to death after having their testacles bitten off by Pacu Fish. Other than this, these fish are actually supposed to be less dangerous than their cousins.
