Let me guess by the title... a super common Sparidae?<p>Yep, nothing strange them. Every marine biologist, alive or past, know that sea breams that eat mainly shells have this set of teeth to tear and crush.<p>A much more interesting trivia is that this animal is hermaphrodyte so the journalists have lost their only chance to write something like 'mutating bisexual fish with human teeth and wearing a prison uniform, discovered'.
This article is making it sound like this is some new amazing find. These fish are well known… there’s even a town named after them!<p>Yes, the teeth look human.

All sheepshead I've ever caught (Galveston, TX) look like that. They regularly swim around below the piers and use those teeth to eat/bite off barnacles on the pilings. Not sure what's newsworthy here, BBC.
