Oh thank God you found my dog.

[–]SteampunkCylon 8 points9 points ago

That's a cryptozoologists wet dream right there.

[–]Cayotic 12 points13 points ago

There's no way that's real, as much as I would like it to be. (If I'm wrong, please tell me)

[–]donut_eater3000 6 points7 points ago

Youre right. It's taxidermy.

[–]Meepsue 19 points20 points ago

Nope, Chuck Testa!

[–]asleeplessmalice[S] 4 points5 points ago

Now don't start that again!

I'm not an expert, but the teeth in this fish appear to have a mammal's dentition. Even fish with "mammal" like dentition (the Pacu, or the puffer fish) wouldn't be the same as a mammal's teeth, which have actually lost certain teeth in their evolution.

So it looks cool, but it's certainly a taxidermy creation. I don't know of many omnivore fish that develop mammal dentition and apparently lack gills.

For teeth: baboon i think

For fish: Possibly lophiiformes?

[–]asleeplessmalice[S] 1 point2 points ago

That's what they said in /r/WTF. It was a baboon and a fish.

[–]Jranker666 2 points3 points ago

shvaaaaat?

[–]grandtheftautumn 3 points4 points ago

What... the hell is that?

[–]jij 1 point2 points ago

A decent photoshop.

[–]studmuffffffin 2 points3 points ago

It doesn't look like a photoshop. It's probably just a fake.

[–]YoRpFiSh 3 points4 points ago

It's horrible, but I can't stop looking.

[–]Rixxali 2 points3 points ago

Even if real, not a crocoduck. Not good enough.

[–]asleeplessmalice[S] 1 point2 points ago

XPOST WTF

[–]trekbette 1 point2 points ago

Oh look, a Fiji mermaid! Cool.

[–]Valdair[!] 2 points3 points ago

I know it's not real because if it were, I would hope you'd have good sense enough not to pick the damn thing up.

[–]chernobyl169 0 points1 point ago

Cool! Make a crocoduck next!
