Testicle eating fish on the move as habitat changes

IT IS a fish that could give the great white shark competition as the most terror-inspiring creature of the deep.
With the appearance of the piranha, but with teeth that look uncannily human, the pacu usually dines on a feast of insects, decaying plants and fruit that falls into the waters of the Amazon.
But it has become more known for reportedly dining on another food: men's testicles.
As though destined to fulfil the script of a spoof horror flick, the pacu is now on the move, and has now been found as far from its South American home as Paris. Could it be making its way to the UK?
The small fish was found in European waters for the first time in August with experts warning men to keep their trunks on if swimming in the Øresund channel between Denmark and Sweden.
Now the pacu has been found in the River Seine, The Paris Prefecture of Police newsletter revealed on Tuesday. Although officers were skeptical of the tropical catch, its human-like teeth marked the species as the feared 'testicle eating' pacu.
Fish expert Henrik Carl told the Local earlier in August: "The pacu is not normally dangerous to people but it has quite a serious bite. There have been incidents in other countries, such as Papua New Guinea where some men have had their testicles bitten off.
"They bite because they're hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their mouth."
The pacu, a relative of the piranha that is commonly found around the Amazon, can grow to up to 90cm and weigh in at a staggering 25kg. Fishermen in South America attacked by the pacu have reportedly bled to death after losing their testicles in the fish's vicious teeth.
The fish are found in most rivers in the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America and have also been spotted in Papua New Guinea, where they are believed to have been introduced in order to boost fish stocks.

That's pretty interesting, but for future reference, this forum is for drug related news stories.

These fish have never bitten anyone's testicle's off, or killed anyone. I fucking love when news reporters have slow days, i wish i could get paid to make shit like this up.

It’s false. The original announcement was meant to be a joke highlighting the surprise discovery of a Pacu in the Baltic.
News sources such as CNN and Huffington Post reported in early August:
Authorities are warning skinny dippers about the Pacu, a fish similar to the piranha that really enjoys cracking nuts with its strong jaws. They’ve also been known to mistake testicles for something nice and crunchy, and they’re strong enough to take off a finger.
It was quickly pointed out that Pacu are related to piranha but are vegetarians and would not be interested in eating male genitals. William Fink from the University of Michigan told CNN, ”They’re fruit eaters. Those big crushing teeth they have is for crushing seeds.”

It's actually like one of those aliens from the Alien movie series in that it freakishly blends familiar human characteristics with overtly repulsive slimy monstrosity.

It will go for any opening of the flesh... be it your mouth, nose, urethra, or bummhole. I feel bad for people who have experienced such...unwanted visitors.
