People on social media have been thoroughly creeped out by a video doing the rounds of a fish, with a very human-like face
Recently an adorable dog went viral for having a face that looked more human than canine.
The cute pooch, named Nori, baffled people online who thought his face had been digitally altered
But now there’s another strange animal shocking people on the internet, only this one lives in water instead of on land.
A rather unusual fish has been spotted in a lake in China, which appears to have some very odd markings on its face, causing it to look quite human.
A visitor to a village outside the city of Kunming in south China captured a video of the creepy carp.
The video was shared on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform and in the clip the fish can be seen swimming to the edge of the lake and poking its head above the surface of the water.
On the fish’s head are dark dots which look like two eyes, two vertical lines which resemble the sides of a nose and one horizontal one underneath where a mouth would be.
During the clip a woman can be heard saying: “The fish has turned into a fairy.”
People were understandably freaked out by the sight.
One person commented: “This is scary.”
Another replied: “Who dares to eat it?”
The video was later shared on Twitter by a user called @Unexplained where it creeped out more people.
“Holy s***,” proclaimed one user.
Someone else wrote: “I am so freaked out right now.”
Others compared the fish to Voldemort, an alien and the animated fish from the 2004 film Shark Tale.
This isn’t the first time someone has seen a human-like carp.
Back in 2010, a 44-year-old British man claimed that a carp he had bought five months before had begun to develop human-like facial features.
Brendan O’Sullivan from Dagenham, Essex, said: “It was astonishing. I could easily make out from the markings two eyes, a nose and a mouth.
“I thought I was suffering from sunstroke.”
The fish was believed to be worth an estimated £40,000.
