Baffled Local Discovers ‘Alien Fish’ With Spikes and Humanoid Teeth Stuck to a Tree in Singapore

A local named Lau Lup found an odd-looking fish stuck to a tree Punggol Promenade in Singapore. The hideous fish had bulging eyes, spikes on the top and bottom bottom portions of its body—and humanoid teeth.

But if you look closely, the fish resembled a ‘tripod fish’, which is a common find in the Singaporean shores. This fish has the ability to stand on its three fins. It is only a 14 inch long fish but has long bony fins that are a yard long—but it doesn’t have humanoid teeth.

Lau Lup believes the fish was of alien origin: “How did it get there? Is this an endangered species?

“It looks alien to me. Maybe readers can identify this fish species and explain how it met its demise on a tree.”

Some netizens concluded that the fish might have been washed to the shores by flood waters—or that this was a simple prank somebody played on him.

Are there fish with human-like teeth?

The only known fish for its human-like teeth is the Pacu fish. Their teeth are surprisingly human-like. They often dine on aquatic plants, snails and even nuts, but their infliction of teeth in humans can cause unbearable pain.
