Wildlife specialists from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, USA, decided to have some fun by posting a photo of the fish to Facebook to see if people could identify it.
“You will need a sea fishing license to catch me! I enjoy hanging out near rocks, piers, reefs and even bridges. I am also known as a prison fish because of my black and white stripes,”reads the description.
But that's not the whole mystery.
“What's the coolest thing I have? Human incisors and molars to help grind food. Like you, I like shrimp and oysters!"
What is the name of this fish?

Several people managed to answer the riddle, guessing that in front of them was a Capekod crucian. It can reach up to 70 centimeters in length and 7 kilograms in weight. At the same time, literally the name of the fish from English is translated as "sheep's head".
No one knows where it came from, but they say that the reason is in the teeth, which resemble not only human, but also ram teeth.
