Testicle-Eating Fish Found in New Jersey




Well, this is just unfortunate, especially for men who enjoy swimming.

This fish, called the Pacu, is native to the Amazon, but it’s getting around lately, showing up in Denmark, France, Illinois, and now North Jersey.

In fact, this toothy little devil was just discovered in Passaic, New Jersey.

From huffingtonpost.com:

Retired bus driver Tom Boylan hooked a 10-inch-long Pacu on Saturday at Third Ward Veteran’s Memorial Park in Passaic, N.J., according to The Bergen Record, which posted a photo of the fish.

And, yes, it has been reported to take a bite out of men’s testicles.

Two men in New Guinea reportedly died from blood loss after a Pacu chomped on theirs.

Apparently it usually eats fallen tree nuts, and, well, in a case of mistaken identity….

But in case this guy changes his mind and switches teams, I’m staying out of the water. :-D

According to Wiki:

Pacu (Portuguese pronunciation: [paˈku]) is a common name used to refer to several common species of omnivorous South American freshwater fish that are related to the piranha. Pacu and piranha do not have similar teeth, the main difference being jaw alignment; piranha have pointed, razor-sharp teeth in a pronounced underbite, whereas pacu have squarer, straighter teeth, like a human, and a less severe underbite, or a slight overbite.[SUP][1][/SUP] Additionally, full-grown pacu are much larger than piranha, reaching up to 0.9 m (3 feet) and 25 kg (55 pounds) in the wild.
