Humanoid carps spotted in North Korea

A human faced fish has been spotted in Chongju, South Korea. The appearance of it has made it to the list of the top ten weird and wonderful animals, as shown on Telegraph. This fish’s attraction rate to the people has been increasing all around the world to Chongju in the center of the country, where two of these specimens are living in a small pond. They are believed to be hybrid descendants of two carp species – the carp and the leather carp, also known as a tangerine fish. In the past couple of years they appear to have gotten distinctive human noses, eyes and lips, and are more than three feet long.
The humanoid pair of carps are living in a pond behind the house of a 64-year old South Korean man, and have been living there since 1986, although the attention has just been drawn recently. “My fish have been getting more and more human for the past couple of years” the owner said to the press. As they’re both females it will be impossible for them to breed and have human faced offspring; although the owner added he knows of other fish with similar features.
