silly fish

They're just really goofy guys. I love their weird proportions.

They're an ancient group of fish with evidence of them dating back to the Late Jurassic. Their ganoid scales act as armor, and their jaws are lined with sharp teeth. This makes the largest of gars, Alligator gar pretty freaky. Alligator gars grow to be over 2m, so they're pretty strong. They're still big cuties, though.Sometimes, they like to take gulps of air because their swim bladder can function as lungs. It's really weird!!

Gar Species:

Alligator Gar: Largest species. Big chompers and beefy. Perfect for those who love big boys.

Spotted Gar: Full of spots! Lots of fun!

Florida Gar: Exclusive to watersheds in Florida and Georgia.

Shortnose Gar: Has a nose a little shorter than the others.♥ Still loveable.

Longnose Gar: Well, their noses are longer than the others.

All of the gars listed have plentiful populations, so there is currently no worries about losing these goofy guys.

Like the anomalocaris, I also have a gar tattooed. They're some of my favorite freshwater fish, so of course I want one permanently on me. He lives on my left knee with his lover, a walleye, on the other knee. Putting my knees together makes them kiss
