Yep, nothing strange them. Every marine biologist, alive or past, know that sea breams that eat mainly shells have this set of teeth to tear and crush.
A much more interesting trivia is that this animal is hermaphrodyte so the journalists have lost their only chance to write something like 'mutating bisexual fish with human teeth and wearing a prison uniform, discovered'.

I'm conflicted when it comes to things being reposted and framed at new on the internet. To many it is new. However, it's not new to me so it feels more click baity.
I’m all for introducing people to knew things, and reading about things I didn’t know about before, but this is just not honest reporting. It’s designed to get passed around on Facebook and if they make it seem ordinary, people won’t pass it around. They’ve taken a Facebook post, and editorialized it specifically to make it sound very special. If you wrote the same article about someone catching a salmon would you sa…

What surprises me is that BBC is offloading content from FB and making it their 'articles'/'news'.

I've also noticed they've become extremely trigger happy with regard to what can be classified as "breaking news". The label has lost all importance from being overused.
Most terrifying fish to catch, because bites fingers off. But edible.

The BBC have been making questionable editorial decisions over the last couple years in an effort to compete in the online news space. I imagine under the guise of keeping viewers around for the "real" hard hitting news stuff. The click bait is definitely growing.
