The strange sea creatures have human-like teeth

The ocean always contains many mystical and strange things. Conquering the vast ocean is always the desire of scientists. On the journey to find new things hidden beneath the ocean, experts discovered strange creatures with human-like teeth.

How are they characterized and is it really scary? Let's learn about this creature through the list summarized by Io9 page below.

1. Sheepshead fish

The saltwater fish, which has the same teeth as the Sheepshead , was discovered mainly in North America , around rock piles, jetties or mangrove forests and coral reefs.

Sheepshead is well known for its white, black borders on silver body and more specifically for teeth that are very similar to human teeth .

Despite such unusual teeth, the nature of sheepshead fish is not fierce . So you don't have to worry if you accidentally get bitten.

Sheepshead's body is not too big, only about 2.25kg and usually moves in groups. From a young age, the teeth of the Sheepshead began to grow, when the teeth were about 5.1cm long - that is when the Sheepshead could devour their favorite food - oysters and oysters.

Sheepshead often use the front teeth to bite the shells or oyster shells, then crush the rest of the prey with the teeth inside.

Another special thing about this fish is that they do not have mouths but only solid rows of teeth . Those rows of teeth will keep the prey from falling out of the mouth once it is hit by Sheepshead.

2. Pacu fish

Found in the waters of Denmark, France, New Jersey , Pacu fish is known to be one of the fish with human-like teeth.

Pacu fish is about 25cm long but can grow up to 90cm and weighs up to 25kg in natural environment. They are described as having straight, cubic teeth, similar in structure to human teeth.

Pacu uses his teeth mainly to crush nuts and fruits, but sometimes they "re-eat" small fish or other invertebrates.

A mature Pacu fish has front teeth in front of the jaw, three rows of maxillary teeth and two rows of lower jaw teeth.Pacu's teeth are strong enough to crush shells and snails in the blink of an eye and have been warned to be harmful to humans.

3. Parrot fish

Many people believe that parrot fish with the mouth above slightly protruding in front of a beak like bird gives them a funny laugh, so lovely. But the truth is they are not so cute.

This species of parrot fish regularly bites and crushes coral reefs and eats algae as a way for teeth to grow evenly, naturally.

Once it finds a satisfactory coral reef, they will eat and chew. However, there is a large amount of limestone from coral that parrot fish cannot digest. All of this limestone will pass through the digestive tract and be excreted in the form of special pellets.

The pellets are white and easily crushed into small grains of sand, then transported to the bays by the waves and deposited into beautiful sandy beaches . Due to the annual production of parrot fish up to 200kg of sand per year , many famous tropical beaches today are made up of their droppings.

4. "Elves" squid

This species of squid is called Promachoteuthis sulcus . They are described as soft-bodied animals with rounded human jaws and folded lips.

The tentacles surround the mouth as a warning to anyone who intends to attack them.

Promachoteuthis sulcus squid usually lives at a depth of 2,000m in the South Atlantic Ocean . Although only about 40mm in size, they were enough to make any diver startled by their appearance.
