Also called the tambaqui, this fish is native to the Amazon and Orinoco river systems of South America, where it feeds on seeds and fruits that fall into the water. The teeth are flat grinding surfaces built to crush that kind of meal rather than slice. The skull measures 16 cm (6.3 in.) at its greatest width and 31 cm (12.2 in.) at its greatest height, and it's removable from the stand. There's just the one.
Every one of these is an individual specimen, and the photo is the actual piece you’d receive. There’s only one of each.
