A fisherman has shared a creepy catch – a wolffish with two sets of teeth.
Roman Fedortsov, a deep-sea fisherman working on a trawler in Murmansk, in the northwest part of Russia, has devoted his life to searching for creatures unknown.
He spends months of his life at sea, much to the delight of his 640,000 followers on Instagram (@rfedortsov_official_account), where he often shares snaps of frightening-looking creatures from the depths he’s found.
His latest catch is particularly terrifying.
In a video posted on Instagram, Roman shows off the wolffish –a monstrous creature from the depths which has two full sets of snappers.
The creepy catch has large eyes, a spotted body and large, sharp teeth.
The post garnered more than 6,700 likes, with users taking to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: “Those pinwheeled choppers are gorgeous!”
“How odd is this. The whole sky is in her teeth,” another user commented.
Someone else added: “Good grief…the teeth have teeth!”
“Yeah, no…it’s a no for me,” another viewer wrote.
One person joked: “Dude needs to brush.”
“Looks like it needs to see a dentist,” another user quipped.
Someone else joked: “Average British neighbour.”
“Taking him to the dentist, a lot of teeth. This is harmful,” another user agrees.
The fish appears to be a spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor), which dwells at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent parts of the Arctic Ocean from north of Russia.
They have prominent canine-like teeth in two sets of jaws, can grow up to 5 ft 9 ins, and weigh up to 3 st 6 lbs.
