So fine, so straight, so sharp, so needle-like and so thickly clustered were the teeth in the decapitated head of this fish that they almost formed a fine fuzz!!! The pain felt by prey when those jaws snapped shut with full force can only be imagined!!!
This head - the beast almost snarling in death - came from the discards of fishing nets. Whether the fisherman had lopped off the more edible lower body of this fish I do not know.
A short distance north of the confluence of the Gosthani River. May 10, 2010. Bheemili, Andhra Pradesh.
