Yes, there is a fish whose teeth are eerily similar to humans. The sheepshead fish is a deep-bodied, compressed marine fish with sharp dorsal spines. The fish usually grows 10-20 inches long but can sometimes grow to 35 inches. This deep-bodied flatfish is commonly found in North and South America, usually weighing around 21.2 lbs (9.6 kg) and reaching 91 cm (35.8 inches) in length. The term ‘sheepshead’ may refer to many things, including a few other fish species. In this video, we will look at the species most commonly referred to as the sheepshead: Archosargus probatocephalus.\n
