Alligator Gar
Alligator gar are one of the largest freshwater fishes in North America. They can reach over 8 feet long and weigh more than 300 pounds. Their alligator-like snouts are packed with a double row of spiky teeth, and armor-like scales cover their bodies. They live in the slow-moving backwaters of large rivers and swamps. When oxygen in the water grows scarce, gator gar gulp air at the surface to survive.
