Smile! Fish Caught With Human Like Teeth

An image of a fish with rows of human-like teeth is making headlines and bemusing the internet with its odd appearance.

The original photo was shared online by Jennette's Pier, a 'grand pier house and public bathhouse’ located in North Carolina, USA.

Their post captioned "#bigteethbigtimes” has gained the attention of the internet because of its bizarre appearance and many took to the comments section with cheeky jokes like, "Needs to floss”, and "I know some good orthodontists!”

Some questioned the authenticity of the image with one person on Facebook saying, "Some of the worst photoshop I've seen!” Another one argued, "A child could Photoshop better look at the gaps between the top teeth."

It turns out the fish is actually real and is known as a Sheepshead Fish. It’s also known as a convict fish because of the black and white stripes on its body. 

They use their human-like teeth to eat their prey and grind the shells of crustaceans, shellfish, and barnacles.
