PICTURES – Fish with human lips and teeth shocks people

Pictures of a certain species of fish which has teeth and lips that resemble a human being has taken the internet by storm, with several people amazed by its unique features while a few people were also creeped out.

The fish, which is found in southeast Asian water bodies, is apparently named ‘Triggerfish’ and one of them spotted in Malaysia caught the interest of netizens. Aside from the plump lips and human-like teeth, the fish also features big jaws. “While there are 40 different species of the Trigger Fish found in the water bodies, most of these have an oval-shaped body with a large head. They are known for their strong-jawed mouth and teeth, capable enough to crush shells. These are known as Trigger Fish as they have two dorsal spines, out of which the anterior one can be ejected only when the second one is depressed, which is also known as ‘trigger spine,'” according to a report.

The original post of the pictures of the fish garnered thousands of likes and comments on Twitter, while several people got creative and posted photoshopped pictures of the fish which also included human-like eyelashes. Check out the amusing post here –
