Fish with human teeth found in the United States

The researchers noted that it is a sheep-headed fish (archosargus probatocephalus), also known as a convict fish due to its

dark streaks running across her gray body and resembling a stereotypical prison uniform.This fish is rare, but is usually found along the Atlantic coast, fromThey can grow up to 91 cm in length and feed on oysters, mollusks, crustaceans and even plant matter.

This fish has teeth that resemblehuman. It has three rows of molars in the upper and two rows in the lower jaw to better penetrate the shells of prey. But it is the incisors of the fish that look as close as possible to human ones - they are even covered with enamel.

Fish teeth develop gradually over the course of life,as the animal grows and shifts from eating predominantly soft-bodied animals to molluscs. In the photograph of the scientists, two new rows of molars are visible growing in the back of the lower jaw of the fish.

The researchers note that this fish does not pose a danger to humans."I wouldn't hesitate to swim in the waters with these fish.They do not pose a threat to humans if they are not pursued.Since sheepheads are good for food, they are often caught by anglers, but once caught, there is athe likelihood of being bitten or pricked by the sharp spikes of the fin," said David Catania of the California Academy of Sciences.
