Twocoda Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Fish With Teeth Found in Illinois' Lake Native to the Amazon Basin, Pacu, known for having human-like teeth, can weigh up to 55 pounds, have been spotted in Lake Lou Yaeger in Illinois. In Papua New Guinea the Pacu is also known as the "Ball Cutter Fish" because it's known to bite at the testicles of fishermen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 MYTH. Pretty sure it doesnt seek them out and bite them, when there are easier thing(s) to bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I smell photoshop. I just Googled Pacus, and while their lower teeth vaguely resemble human teeth (of a meth-head), the uppers are not at all like that. So that would be Myth, to the gonad theory?

Live2fish85 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't know about the teeth, but I do remember seeing on Jeremy Wades Rivermonsters a show about the Ball cutter which did actually go at the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Posted about the Pacu last week here, it contains an article link. And this Wikipedia page doesn't do much to dispel it as a total myth. Edited July 11, 2012 by Dave Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
