Watch out boys, looks like something is out to get you!
The fish might look small, but the damage it could do is a lot bigger. Last month, the exotic pacu was discovered in Papua New Guina and South American rivers. The pacu is basically a fish that bites off testicles.
It was first found in the waters of Papua New Guinea, but looks like it’s now working its way to other places. It’s already arrived in France and there are fears it could be headed for London next.
The omnivorous fish even made its way to Sweden, where they learned the hard way that it’s probably best not to engage in nude bathing.
Henrik Carl, a Scandinavian fish expert, warned that the fish could grow up to 90cm and weigh up to 25Kg. Can you imagine what kind of damage a testicle-eating creature of this size could do?
Carl said: “They bite because they’re hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their mouth.”
We said this: Looks like men need to think twice before going for a skinny dip!
