A resident of the Australian region of Sunshine Coast, Queensland, found a mysterious toothy creature on the beach. The photograph of the animal, which turned out to be a giant astrologer, drew attention to the publication Yahoo! News.
On Wednesday, March 10, the Australian woman posted photos of a strange fish with perfectly white teeth on Facebook. “Does anyone know what this fish is?” – she wrote.
Some users have suggested that they are flatheads – black flatheads are sometimes found on the east coast of Australia. Others thought it was a stargazer. These fish are commonly found in southern Queensland and along the southern coast as far as Western Australia. They sometimes bite divers who enter the water at night.
Some users paid attention to the teeth of the fish. “Someone wants their dentures back,” one woмคห wrote. Another joked that the fish’s teeth were cleaner than hers.
Professor Culum Brown of the Department of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University has confirmed that the Australian has found a stargazing fish. “It is not typical for this species to live on the southeast coast. It looks more like a large New Zealand species that is most often found off the coast of the South Island. But it can also appear on the east coast of Australia, ”he explained.
