Best Answer

Grouper is another common name and there are many different species that are called by that name. Never-the-less they are all fairly large fish. The large Groupers (In Australia they are called Gropers) can get to a couple of metres long and weigh in at over 250 Kilograms. (600lbs approx).They do not have large teeth but do have very large mouths and amazing sucking ability. They are reputed to be capable of swallowing a fully grown man and there has been a report of a person being killed by a Grouper in Mozambique. Near Cairns on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia I personally witnessed a swimmer with his hand and arm down a Gropers throat trying to retrieve it after it had been swallowed as he swam past a Groupers 'hole'. Can one eat a person? I would say yes it is possible.
