sheepshead have the same kind of teeth. they are made that way to enable them to break open clam and barnacle shells because that is what their main diet consists of. hence the nickname “shellcrackers”. i would imagine these fish are set up for much the same type of eating habits.
these are completely real, just seen them on monster fish on nat geo wild. they have teeth like that because they eat fallen fruit and the human-like teeth combined with their strong muscular jaws provide a huge bite force
It’s obvious that those are two different species of fish by the mouth, eye, and nose structures. The first one is a freshwater Pacu. The second and third pictures are of a Sheepshead fish. Both were identified by scientists a long time ago, not sure where that BS headline came from.
