A fish with a “Hollywood smile” and human teeth

A scientific journal published a report explaining the nature of a unique fish that sparked a lot of controversy because of the shape of its mouth and teeth that resemble human teeth to some extent.
The scientific journal “livescience” indicated that the Sheepsheaded fish (Archosargus probatocephalus) is a type of finfish mostly found along the eastern coast of North America and South America.

The magazine indicated that this fish is known for its unique front teeth, which can look strangely like human teeth with a “Hollywood” smile, as described by some tweeters on social media.

The magazine pointed out that these fish, which are called in Arabic the “head of the sheep” fish, grow on square teeth similar to human teeth with molars sometimes, when they mature so that they can feed on hard-shelled prey, such as crustaceans and others in addition to mollusks.
