"A fish caught in Lubbock, Texas, with teeth that look like they belong to a human has baffled wildlife officials in the area, according to a
report"

It is just a Pacu, a vegetarian cousin of the Piranha. They have boney teeth that are much like mini-molars. Figures the kind of people they breed in
Texas would be amazed by a very common fish.
The Pacu has been found pretty much everywhere since they are hardy fish that can grow to huge sizes. People get them as small as a quarter in
diameter for their home aquariums thinking, "It looks like a Piranha but won't eat any other fish? Perfect!" When the thing is approaching a foot
in diameter (usually in only a year or two) with no end in sight (they do get rather large) the people dump them into local lakes and streams.

Probably because the "Official" got a GED and his cousin is the Governer.
