Lake-lovers and fishermen living in Denmark especially near Copenhagen should have extra care while doing their hobbies because an exotic toothy fish named red-bellied pacu, cousin of carnivorous piranha, is having its new aquatic place in Denmark and looking for its new victims - testicles.
Yes, it might sound weird but this flesh-eating fish (or shall we say it more specific: fish-eating-testicles) has breached its natural habitat mostly in Southern American's Amazon that is likely escaped from aquarium and controlled fish farms. Even though Red-bellied pacu has fantastic humanoid-looking teeth has known to utilize primarily on crushing nuts and fruits, it bites other fish and in Papua New Guinea, it invades fishermen, hence the name "ball-cutter" having named so after castrating a few local fishermen.
Concerned authorities are looking for the origin on how this invasive specie wanders outside its native habitat. They are locating for any illegal and commercial farming of pacus in Europe but some researchers believe that it needs to confirm yet its true identity with the help of genetic examination since many species of it look the same when young-lings and hybrid species developed in the aquaculture department.
However, the University of Copenhagen gave some precautionary measures when going to affected areas that they should stay on guard and wear well tied swimsuits especially men to save their future dream of having children.
