地道美語向前衝：食人魚現身了

本期節目介紹：

日前，一種尖牙利嘴的魚在美國伊利諾伊州的一個湖泊中被發現。雖然湖泊管理人宣稱這種魚對人沒有攻擊性，但是2011年在巴布亞新幾內亞，這種魚卻用它的尖牙把兩個漁夫的睾丸咬掉了，被咬後的兩個漁夫大出血後就嗚呼哀哉了。

Pacu, Testicle-Eating Fish Species, Caught In Lake Lou Yaeger In Illinois

Pacu, a toothy fish that can weigh up to 55 pounds, has been spotted in Lake Lou

Pacus primarily eat nuts, aquatic vegetation and snails, [Caldwell] told KDSK, and pose no real threat to humans.

Residents of Papua New Guinea may beg to differ. There, according to British fisherman Jeremy Wade, the pacu is known as the "ball cutter." In 2011, Wade said locals informed him that two fisherman had died from blood loss after something in the water had bitten off their testicles, according to the Metro.
