Pacu fish, who bites human testicles was found in Lake Lou Yaeger in Illinois. According to the locals, various cases have been reported due to death caused by Pacus biting the testicles. Pacu fish is also known as "ball cutter".

When someone tells you that a pacu fish feeds on nuts, you rather need to take it very seriously and think differently.

The pacu fish is a wish with teeth which can have a weight of about 55 pounds. The Pacu fish was found in Lake Lou Yaeger located in Illinois.

It was when a fisherman when fishing, thought had caught a piranha. But when it was sent for investigation, it was indentified as a pacu fish. Various reports have been reported of sights of Pacu fish some weeks later too.

Caldwell, the superintendent of Natural Resources, told that Pacu fish eats only aquatic plants and snails and a safe for humans. He also claims that he swims in the lake everyday. But the resident totally differs from the idea. Pacu is said to be a really testicle eating fish. Locals even call pacu a ball cutter. In the year 2011, it was reported that two fishermen died due to excessive blood loss as pacu fish had bitten their testicles and cut off their balls.

Pacus are actually native to Amazin basic but it also became a part of water bodies in New Guinea when people introduced Pacus in their water bodies their in 1090s so that fisheries can be boosted. Now, it is said that someone dumping the pacu fish in the lake would be a crime and would have to face charges.
