A rare fish with human-like teeth was spotted by some beachgoers in the Outer Banks in North Carolina, a discovery that has caught the attention of internet users.
The photo taken of the mysterious fish, shared on Facebook on Tuesday by Jennette’s Pier — a fishing destination in Nags Head — shows the nine-pound creature opening its mouth and displaying human-like teeth, which makes it look like it’s wearing dentures.
The fish was identified as a sheepshead, with several rows of molars in its mouth it uses for crushing oysters and other prey. It is believed to have received its name because its mouth looks like that of a sheep.

We caught those in the Back Bay behind Keelser AFB when I was in Tech School there. Some folks told us they were a trash fish but they were actually quite good.
