Human Face Fish


The Human Face Fish is a cyprinid fish purported to have markings on its head reminiscent of the facial features of a human. It has been reported by Reuters as being a cross between two varieties of the carp CYPRINUS CARPIO, specifically the common carp and the leather carp,[1] but by other news outlets as a true hybrid between the common carp and the ayu sweet fish Plecoglossus altivelis. The fish itself resides in a pond in Chongju near Seoul in Korea.[2]
