There is a strange animal that has shocked people on the internet, only this one lives in water instead of on land.

A rather unusual fish has been spotted in a lake in China, which appears to have some very odd markings on its face, causing it to look quite human.

A visitor to a village outside the city of Kunming in south China captured a video of the creepy fish.

The video was shared on social media, and in the clip the fish can be seen swimming to the edge of the lake and poking its head above the surface of the water.

On the fish’s head are dark dots which look like two eyes, two vertical lines which resemble the sides of a nose and one horizontal one underneath where a mouth would be.
