It sounds like something out of a science fiction flick. But the testicle-eating pacu fish is the real deal. They can grow up to 55 pounds and have mouths full of teeth. Got that? TEETH. In a fish! Oh, and gentlemen, you may want to invest in a cup, because it has been found right here in the good old US of A. Of course no one is sure exactly how they got to the States from their native South America, where the pacu goes by the nickname the "ball cutter" (has such a nice ring to it, right guys?). But one was caught in Lake Lou Yaeger last month, and another is said to be swimming around the Central Illinois lake. It's kind of well, OK, I'll say it ... fishy! Isn't it? Everything about this creepy critter is so strange that how it got here might actually be the least mysterious part of it!![]()
