Discover the skull of Britain's largest dog species

Scientists confirm that the largest ever skull of dogfish (scientific name Esox lucius) was found at Cherwell River (England).

Peter Mone found the skull of a prehistoric animal-like animal in the bush next to the Cherwell-Oxford (England) river. Initially, Mr. Mone thought that this was just a deer's skull drifting into the bush. But when he looked closely, he knew it was more special. So he decided to take photos and send them to the scientists. According to zoologist Andrew Crisp, this is the skull of the dog fish. Their ancestors appeared on Earth about 20 million years ago.

This skull is about 0.3m long, about 25cm wide

It has 700 teeth, each about 2.5cm long

This fish is about 20 years old, weighing about 22.6kg. After collecting data,
Mr. Crisp said this is the skull of the largest fish in the UK found .

Andy O'Conner currently holds the record for catching the biggest dog in the UK
in March 2012.The fish weighs 20.8kg, captured at Lake Wykeam near Scarborough town.

Compared to the fossils previously found, scientists found that current dogs do not change much from their ancestors. This fish has a lifespan of about 50 years. Considered a fierce freshwater fish, they often appear in cannibal stories. Their tongue resembles a kind of sandpaper, wraps around the prey and begins to swallow the prey from the beginning. In 2004, an 11-year-old boy in Minnesota had to stitch 8 stitches in his arms and legs because of a bite from a dog fish.
