Gentlemen swimmers in Sweden's Oresund Sound, heed this warning: A testicle-eating pacu fish has been found, and it's feeding time. "They bite because they're hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their mouth," said eloquent fish expert Henrik Carl of the National History Museum in nearby Denmark.

The piranha relative, normally found in the Amazon, is nicknamed the "ball cutter," and men have reportedly bled to death due to the aquatic horror's scrotal appetite. Local fishermen captured an 8-inch pacu — the first caught in Europe — sparking the warning for men to "keep your swimwear on."

Carl explained that "its mouth is not so big, so of course it normally eats nuts, fruit and small fish. It's not normal to get your testicles bitten off, of course, but it can happen, especially now in Sweden."

Good God. Forget the movie Jaws they should just make a movie out of a testicle eating fish. It would scare the hell out of me it would scare the hell out of every man on the planet.

Have them swim through the sewers up the toilet, I'd probably check before I sat afterwards.

I used to have 2 of these fish in one of my tanks years ago. I had them in a 300 gallon tank, so they grew big enough to eat some balls lol... but I doubt they would ever do it. They are fairly timid in my experience.

These fish outgrow their tanks in many cases, so the owners release them into the wild. WHICH IS VERY BAD. Here in FL many South American species are invading our lakes and rivers because of people releasing fish from their tanks into the wild.

There was a time in the 80s when I had real piranhas in one of my tanks. You could legally buy them at a local fish store. Obviously , that is no longer allowed.

Just read a story on this saying that the threat of the pacus eating the balls off swimmers was just a joke.

I knew something was fishy about this story.
