Indonesian villagers shocked after discovering fish with human-like teeth
A fish with teeth strikingly similar to those of a human has caused amazement in an Indonesian village.
The fish, believed to be an emperor fish, was discovered to have the molar-like teeth by Ahmad Seseray, a pupil at a school in Kimindores, West Papua.
Video shows amazed residents examining the bizarre animal with its mouth agape and its smooth teeth on show.
Ahmad reportedly received the fish from his school teacher, who found it while fishing down by the village docks.
He intended to take it home to cook before he made the shocking discovery.
His mother, Hadijah, said the fish caused a stir in the remote village.
She said: "I opened the mouth of the fish and looked carefully and my son was right, the fish had large teeth that were similar to the structure of human teeth.
"Many people who came to hear the information of the discovery of a fish that has teeth similar to human teeth."
Instead of cooking the strange animal, Hadijah decided to put it in her freezer.
