A South American Pacu fish with uncannily human-like chompers has been unexpectedly showing up on Michigan anglers' hooks.
The fish are red-bellied pacus (Piaractus brachypomus) and are piranha relatives, though their diet is mostly vegetarian. Pacus are popular with aquarium owners for their unusual square teeth that look remarkably human —rather disturbingly so, in fact. But recently, pacus have been sighted in places where they shouldn't be: Lake St. Clair and Port Huron in southeastern Michigan, where three pacus were caught during the month of July.

You’d be surprised at how resilient some things can be, I guarantee you some of these fish have already made their ways into the streams. The good thing is (unlike their sharp toothed cousins) they’re supposed herbivores so they don’t have to compete for food with native carnivores as of yet and they may be good to eat too, like Sheepshead fish. The only challenge they may face is finding nuts and fruit throughout the harsh winter months, unless they migrate through the creeks and streams towards the south or just tough it out.

- Luis Antonio Marrega: Esses peixes tem a dentição parecida com as dos humanos, parecem estar evoluindo! Rio Brasil.
- Dwight E Howell: While one would think the cold winter lake water would kill them off it's a little hard to be sure about that. I suspect the outlet for waste water for major urban centers might be warm enough to let them over winter as well. We'll see.
