Netflix Now: Fish Balls Edition

By now you’ve likely heard about the pacu fish showing up in Scandinavian waters and the threat this species poses to men. Nicknamed “the ball cutter” in Papua New Guinea, the pacu fish has frightening human-like teeth and has been known to bite men’s testicles. The following was reported on NPR yesterday:

Museum expert Henrik Carl explained the potential danger posed by the fish to Sweden’s The Local, saying the pacu’s ‘mouth is not so big, so of course it normally eats nuts, fruit, and small fish, but human testicles are just a natural target. It’s not normal to get your testicles bitten off, of course, but it can happen, especially now in Sweden.’

Yeah, it’s a slow week on Netflix Instant. But hey, at least they added Paradise Alley and Errors of the Human Body. Check out this week’s meager offerings after the cut, and also get freaked out by the horrors of aquatic life.

New additions to Netflix Watch Instantly apply only to readers in the United States. For those in other parts of the world, your choices may vary.
