The Asian sheep's head carp is quite special in shape with parts protruding on the head that look like the forehead and chin on the face. Children have the ability to change sex, not only to cut off future relationships with males but also become new opponents when looking for partners.

This is the first time that transgender females have been recorded in detail by scientists. Even females after transsexuals become bigger than males.

Scientists believe that fish do so because when they become males, they can inherit more genes. However, why some females still remain the same while others change has not been solved.

The Asian sheep-headed fish is one of the world's largest fishes, which inhabit the western Pacific Ocean. Adult fish can be up to one meter long and weigh nearly 15kg.
