    Though its teeth are used mainly to crush nuts and fruits, the pacu eats other fish and invertebrates.
    In Papua New Guinea, the invasive species has reportedly earned a reputation as the "ball-cutter" after castrating a couple of local fishermen.
    The fish can grow to weigh as much as 55 pounds.

    Aside from the fact that the article is 3 years old ... Fox News? A fish from the freshwater Amazon living in saltwater?

    Yes, that all seems to stack up.
