The alligator gar population is declining

It has a double row of teeth, impenetrable scales and a craving for meat. It's the alligator gar.

    You wouldn't love swimming while this monster is around looking for dinner. :) :) It's related to the prehistoric remnant ... the coelacanth.

    Iā€™ve been around these fish my entire life and NEVER heard them called fossil fish... and Iā€™ll bet thereā€™s more of these fish in Texas (and everywhere else Iā€™m sure) than squirrels.

    I have had several. They will jump right out of a tank. Caught in creeks in SW Florida.

    I've seen garfish working on a damn in South Carolina. They're disgusting and scary looking. I know they have lots of teeth.

    The Gar was a New Orleans staple literary publication in the 60s and 70s. A great tabloid.
