Nguyen Thanh Nhan in Binh Minh district, the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long last Friday caught a 2 kilo fish that has a jaw looking like a duck beak.
According to Nhan, he was sitting on a boat on Hau River when he saw two strange fish rising up from the water.
He used a net to catch one.
Hearing about Nhan with the strange fish, locals throng his house to watch but no one could tell what kind of fish it is.
Although having a body of a fresh water fish, it has a head looking like an alligator and its skin is like that of a snake.
Currently, Nhan has sent the fish to an eatery with the intention of selling it to anyone who can give him the best price.
According to marine experts at Can Tho University, this is probably a duck beak fish coming from overseas. It is said to be fierce and harmful to humans.

How bad was the recoil?
Yep, I was just going to say it was an alligator gar. I guess reporters can’t research anything in today’s world.
