I saw these on the River Monsters...Scary as heck!
Too bad he is unchanged for so long. He must be awful lazy.
That's a fish? That is freaky.
Nothing that lives in the oceans is good. I eat them under duress because they are so yummy.
Aligator Gar are freshwater fish... which adds to the "HOLY CRAP" factor. They are quite common around here in rivers and lakes. People bowfish for them (harpoon like arrows attached to lines shot from bows). We catch them fairly often when fishing below the spillway from Lake Texoma in the Red River.
