Pacu fish have teeth that look exactly like people’s. They evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water

    There’s another marine fish who also has these kind of teeth – look up Sheepshead fish!

    Is this an example of convergent evolution?

      Hey it is! Kinda. I Think.

      But why are human teeth shaped like this in the front? Not so much for nuts, right?

        I thought the same thing so I looked into it! The pacu fish’s front teeth aren’t flat like ours. They’re more like our molars, which serve the same purpose of being used for crushing (so it technically still is convergent evolution)

          That article you linked literally starts with

          We apologize in advance for the nightmarish qualities inherent to the pacu fish

          No. Nope. No way. Uh uh. I’m not scrolling down. NEVER. You hear me? I have enough nightmares as it is…

      The front row ones look more similar to our teeth than an apes, so that is pretty crazy to me.
