ickplantPacu fish have teeth that look exactly like people’s. They evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water
ThePantserWhen fish have nicer teeth than me.
FenrirIIIHave you tried a freshwater diet?
Thanks! I hate it
Nibble nibble

Fish people

The front row ones look more similar to our teeth than an apes, so that is pretty crazy to me.
NusmWhen I wake up screaming at 2 am, this right here, this is why.
FenderStratocasterIs this an example of convergent evolution?
Hey it is! Kinda. I Think.
But why are human teeth shaped like this in the front? Not so much for nuts, right?
𝕊𝕞𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕞 𝕎𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕔I thought the same thing so I looked into it! The pacu fish’s front teeth aren’t flat like ours. They’re more like our molars, which serve the same purpose of being used for crushing
ByteJunkThat article you linked literally starts with
We apologize in advance for the nightmarish qualities inherent to the pacu fish
No. Nope. No way. Uh uh. I’m not scrolling down. NEVER. You hear me? I have enough nightmares as it is…
Honestly I don’t blame you given the pictures of them with their teeth out
Niiice—and thank you!!
Anytime! An opportunity to learn should always be used :)
SibboWould you kiss that mouth?
Depends how many drinks I’ve had.
JayThey evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water
Ok well, I’m never swimming again.
If you wade or jump in, you'll be fine.
If you fall in, not so much.
If your junk is dry, the fish can’t get to it
sexy_peachtotally what my teeth look like
Are you suggesting people are evolutionarily suited to hobbling nuts?
I can eat walnut whole.
Found. The pacu fish
samus12345The food that can chew you back.
Prime_Minister_KeyesWhat in the everloving fuck is that?? Nightmare fuel 😨

Dharma Curious (he/him)Can I harvest teeth from this fish to replace the one I’m missing?
Just grow them back
When the Japanese finally get their teeth generation DNA therapy going, everyone will be after these fish for starter scaffolds.
Sounds like propaganda from Big Almond.
Is this some Midwest Big Apple?
tomenzggNo, that’s the Big Onion.
You people have never watched River Monsters with Jeremy Wade and it shows.
Name checks out, hay seed
Já viu um pacu de 30m?
Aqui hahaha
Suddenly caralho
Can we use them for transplants?
There’s another marine fish who also has these kind of teeth – look up Sheepshead fish!
I hadn’t had many regrets in life, originally.
I too have three rows of teeth.
That’s fucked up.
Please mark NSFL
If I went into an aquarium to find these fuckers cheesing at me I’d have to take mushrooms to cope. Thank fuck we have AI and this shits on a screen, I can sleep another day
I’m scared of it but also impressed it evolved to eat nuts.
ClinicallydepressedpoochieIs that what my teeth suppose to look like?
