Crab caught in Russia has human-like teeth. Stumped internet calls it a Pokémon

A crab caught off the coast of Russia has shocked the internet not only due to its apparent grumpy expression, but also because it seemed to sport human-like teeth. A photograph of the crustacean was shared by photographer Roman Fedortsov on Instagram. He works on a fishing vessel in Western Russia.

"Crabs... Still, there is something attractive and repulsive about them. Mother nature did her best," Fedortsov wrote with the image.

The similarity of the crab's "teeth" with human teeth took the social media by shock.

"What if crabs are reincarnated humans?" commented Instagram user Next_Star_Rising. Another user commented, "Looks like a Pokémon in the final stage of being beaten in battle."

There were also some who found humour in the situation. "Bro got better teeth than British people," an Instagram user commented while another said, "Part of the ship, part of the crew"-- a Pirates of the Caribbean reference where a human crew of a pirate ship began to develop physical characteristics of aquatic creatures.
