Human Face Fish
The Human Face Fish is a cyprinid fish found in 2003 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 sweetfish Plecoglossus altivelis.[2] The latter is almost certainly incorrect though, as carps and ayu belong to quite different superorders of Teleostei.
The fish resides in a pond in Chongju near Seoul, South Korea.[2]
