Description
The sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus) is a marine fish found in shallow Atlantic waters. It is notable for its very humanlike set of front teeth. These and the wider teeth further back in its mouth help it crush the clams, oysters, barnacles, crabs, and other crustaceans that make up its diet. The sheepshead hunts in areas with rocky seafloors and is often found near manmade structures.
