Vampire fish found in stream in northern Burma
The bizarre creature, which looks like it has teeth from a Hammer horror film, was found in a stream in northern Burma.

It has been named Danionella dracula.

Dr Ralf Britz, of the Natural History Museum, hailed it as “one of the most extraordinary vertebrates discovered in the last few decades”.

But despite its fearsome-looking teeth, the transparent Dracula fish is only 17mm long.
 

Dr Britz added: “The teeth that D. dracula has are very surprising.

“None of the other 3,700 species in the Cypriniform group has any teeth in their jaws. They lost them 50 million years ago. D. dracula however evolved its own tooth-like structures by growing them from the jaw bones rather than re-evolving jaw teeth.”
