Norwegian Fisherman Finds A Crab That Has Human Teeth, And It Is Terrifying

by Damjan

We are spending billions of dollars on deep space exploration, trying to find out the secrets of the Universe, and we have so many secrets to be discovered here on Earth. We think we know our planet inside and out, but that’s a common misconception.

For instance, huge parts of the oceans are still unexplored. Come to think of it, even land still holds plenty of secrets.

Namely, it is not unusual to hear some new animal discovered somewhere in Amazon. The latest interesting discovery, however, comes from the ocean.

The tremendous depth of the water has once again bewildered the internet just as we were beginning to get over some of the earlier weird aquatic critters that were discovered on beaches around the world. This time, a picture of an odd catch made by a deep-sea fisherman is becoming viral online.

The crab, which looks to have a full set of human teeth, was retrieved by the fisherman from the depths of the sea, according to the now-famous photos. Roman Fedortsov, a Norwegian trawlerman who has developed a reputation for publishing his strangest catches, found the toothy crustacean.

The crab, which we've named Gums, leers at the camera and smiles broadly, seems completely unperturbed by the attention from people. Gums the crab's species and whether or not he's a freak of nature are both unknown.

Take a look at these interesting photos:

Tagging his new find, Roman said "Crabs…All the same, there is something attractive and repulsive in them. Mother nature tried."

Many of Roman's fans praised crusty old Gums in the comments that were posted beneath his post.

One said: "Just a little dental work and the little fella will be just fine.""Love those human teeth!", said another.Besides these, one user also detailed the deformity of the creature, as he commented, “This is a just deformity of the shell. Take a look at different pictures of a crab's shell around the front end of the shells and you will see that this crab’s front lower shell has split from the deformity.”

Fedorov works on a trawler. They have massive nets fastened to the back.

The nets are pulled along the ocean floor or at a specific depth, capturing any creatures that come into contact with them. Even though fishermen may be hunting for a certain kind of fish, this technique inevitably captures other organisms that are laying in the nets' path.

The nets frequently reach depths of 980 to 3,300 feet, which means fewer frequently seen deep-water species will occasionally be pulled to the surface.

Even though the image of a crab with teeth has gained immense popularity, it still hasn't reached any marine biologist who would offer an explanation or even a species name for this interesting find.

For now, we simply have to be satisfied with the explanation that our planet is a wonderful place that holds so many secrets we love to discover. And they never cease to amaze us.

We can't wait for the next post. Who knows what this fisherman will find next?
