A fish with humanoid teeth

Courtesy of National Geographic, here is a photo of the pacu (Piaractus brachypomus), an Amazonian fish with a set of remarkably human-like choppers. It’s no surprise that they are herbivorous — eating mainly seeds — and that they can inflict a nasty bite.  They’re related to piranhas.
