A strange looking fish with human-like lips and teeth was caught last Sunday by a local fisherman off the coasts of Sykia in Halkidiki, northern Greece.
The 45-year-old fisherman told ana-mpa that the 40 cm. long fish was a round shape, had rough skin and weighed roughly 700 grams.
“I haven’t seen anything like it before,” he said, “It managed to survive outside the water for more than five hours. It had an unusual skin and its gills were absent replaced instead by a tiny opening it used for breathing.”
The fish, believed to have migrated to the area from warmer waters, will be examined at the Aristotle University laboratories in Thessaloniki to determine its origin.
