IN the wake of last week’s mutant pig and the recent goblin shark, another bizarre animal has surfaced.

Garry Warrick said he caught the unusual bony bream in a net in lake Bonney or one of the creeks nearby.

“Both mouths are actually joined together,” he told the ABC.

“The top one opens and closes but the bottom one looks permanently open.

“Other than that, it looks like a normal fish,” he added.

Big mouths ... In over 30 years of commercial fishing Garry said he had never seen a fish like this. Picture: Garry Warrick.

Warrick has worked as a commercial fisherman in the area for many years and it’s not the first time he’s stumbled across something strange.

He said most deformities included odd-shaped heads, including a dolphin shape, but this was the first time he had come across two mouths.

“I normally pack them for cray bait and fertiliser but this one I put in the freezer,” he told the ABC.

“I hadn’t really told anyone about it other than my wife, and she said you might as well put the photos online.”
