Gar

Lepisosteidae

Description:

These fish are one of the coolest fish they are shaped almost like a torpedo or an undersea arrow. They are often seen just keeping still in the water waiting for prey items to come their way. The biggest gar is the Alligator gar. I got this one on display at the River Legacy education department.

Habitat:

They live in Rivers mainly and lakes they are a fresh water fish.
