I think it shoud be a rotten/fried sheepshead fish, but I'm not sure, but its surely utterly strange... "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy"

Ugh...that was a graphic picture to sip my morning coffee to.

Human teeth are designed for an omnivorous diet; Blunt, chisel-like teeth in front for nipping vegetation, sharp canines for tearing meat, and flat molars for grinding. I suspect this fish is much the same, and the "human-like" teeth are just for scraping algae as food, or nipping off sea plants.

See the teeth on this puffer fish?

They're not teeth in the traditional sense since they're joined together; They're sort of like plates. If you could see from the side, you'd see that the front teeth slope down, just like the "human teeth" fish. The pufferfish uses these unique teeth to pull algae off of rocks. I think it's safe to say that that's what this fish does as well.

Um.

Ew.

But cool. Weird, very weird. And I have to agree with AC, that was a bit gross, but luckily I'd already had my morning coffee.... thumbsup.gif

That is one disgusting looking image. Ewww. But strange, yes definitely, and I agree with AC on this one, it probably used them to pick off algae to eat.

According to a US fishing site, the sheepshead feed on mollusks, crustaceans (like the fiddler crab) and barnacles.

Well, that's relevant as the teeth indicates either scrapping of algae or crushing shellfish.
