    Meet a fish with “human” teeth: the sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus)! This species can grow up to 30 in (0.8 m) long and weigh 22 lbs (10 kg). Inside its mouth, you'll find molars, incisors, and grinding teeth. These specialized chompers help it chow down on its omnivorous diet that includes crabs, clams, small fish, and plants. Its wide range spans from Nova Scotia to the southern Caribbean.
