A student from the UK found a mysterious fish with a crocodile's face

A student at a school in British Wales came across the carcass of an unknown creature when he was on his way to class. The creature looked like a fish and a reptile at the same time. The schoolboy's mother soon posted pictures of the mysterious animal on social networks, which caused a resonance among users.

The carcass was on the riverbank and exuded a stench. The animal was about 75 centimeters long, while its muzzle resembled a crocodile with many terrible sharp teeth.

It is still not known exactly what species the found creature belongs to, but most likely we are talking about the Mississippian shell. This fish is found in South American reservoirs. The main version is that she was once a pet, and then she was thrown away.

In England and Wales, there is a ban on keeping such fish at home, but some violate the rule. Probably, the shell was thrown out when it grew and stopped being placed in the aquarium.
