About 1.5 years ago I started an Instagram account showing my fish taxidermy work (taxidermy is the art of preserving dead animals). I have been doing this work for many years and I really wanted to show the world how beautiful, unique, and scary some fish are.

I now have almost 55,000 followers and I noticed my followers like the weird teeth the best. The more bizarre the better. So I made a collection of the craziest fish teeth I have posted so far. Enjoy!

    The horrific mouth of a Lamprey (bloodsucking parasite). This one was over 120 cm (47”) long and as thick as a man’s arm. Their mouth is full of razor sharp spikey teeth and is designed to attach itself to a fish. It then uses it’s tongue (which also has many teeth on it!) to bore into the flesh of fish and drink their blood. Sometimes they also attack humans...

    Mystery fish...The jaws of an unknown species of Deep Sea fish. I got this specimen from Icelandic fishermen last year and it was so badly damaged I could only save the jaws...the entire body and most of the head were missing. It was caught at great depths near Greenland. Can anyone identify this species? It is possible this species is not yet known to science...
