Hold on to your Hollyhocks!

Hold on to your Hollyhocks.

What a smashin set of gnashers he has, and he’s smiling too, he must be having a ball!
I didn’t know where to put this thread, I first thought ‘Food&Drink’ but quickly changed me mind. At first I thought this picture was photoshopped but it’s real, as some Americans might say “He’s got a great dental plan”

It is a fish that could give the great white shark competition as the most terror-inspiring creature of the deep. With the appearance of the piranha, but with teeth that look uncannily human, the pacu usually dines on a feast of insects, decaying plants and fruit that falls into the waters of the Amazon. But it has become more known for reportedly dining on another food: men's testicles.*
As though destined to fulfil the script of a spoof horror flick, the pacu is now on the move, and has now been found as far from its South American home as Paris. Could it be making its way to the UK?
The small fish was found in European waters for the first time in August with experts warning men to keep their trunks on if swimming in the Øresund channel between Denmark and Sweden.

Re: Hold on to your Hollyhocks!

I humble beg your pardon oh wise one.
Just saw it on a national geographic page, and you are right. The teeth didn't look as white and perfect as in your picture, but the fish certainly exists and they are saying it has 'human like teeth.'

I think the fish eats them raw without accompanying foods.

Re: Hold on to your Hollyhocks!

For a moment I thought you had taken a selfie, Jem - those front gnashers look like human teeth!
