Lamp, was it an educational pop-up book? I had one of those and I vividly recall throwing it into the closet in fear

I know the kind of chart you mean Lamp! I used to be all freaked out by the idea of pitch-dark deep sea dwellers, too. Anglegish and giant umbrella eels, especially oooerr *shudder*.

This isn't a fish I know but look at the teeth of the crabeater seal!
http://www.rosssea.info/pix/images/Crabeater_teeth.jpg
FWIW: "He does not eat crabs but lives entirely in krill (euphausia) which are a very plentiful kind of shrimp which are also the main diet for the baleen whales and the sea birds and Adelies. The crab-eater has very odd teeth divided into branches which act like the baleen of the whale. Presumably they take in a great gulp of water and krill, squirt the water out between their teeth and eat the krill."

There's a fish and chip place down the road from me that has a lovely front window display of fresh seafood on ice.
They always seem to have 2 or 3 whole fish, artfully arranged, with their maws wide open and teeth bared.
I've always wondered if they pry the gobs open on purpose, it looks comical. I should try and get a surreptitious pic.

That seal's teeth look like a paisley design or something.

Why would anyone eat anything so ugly? Fish should be as cute as they are tasty.

I have some issues with fish. I have fishues. Fish freak me out a little. I should not read this thread at all, yet every time it pops up, I read it and then I spend about an hour shuddering at the thought of that FISH WITH HUMAN TEETH wtf sob

There are no known cases of fish stealing peoples' teeth as they sleep. After all, fish are very careful and leave no witnesses.
