A species of guppy-relatives once said "OK, we're killers now" and evolved gar-like macropredatory jaws like it was NOTHING. Behold Belonesox belizanus, the pike killifish.

Alligator Gar that size from that general area could easily be 25-40 years old👍
@SolomonRDavid @Goldrushcomic What would you estimate is the age of a gar this size? Amazing to see a melanistic thrive

GIANT all-black Alligator Gar! This melanistic gar is the largest I’ve ever seen. Caught on hook & line by @ teeeerell on TikTok. Not sure if it was released, but I hope so! 📹teeeerell HT @SallmannC

new spotted gar state record from Lake Texoma weighed in at 10 lbs, 8.96 oz — smashing the old record by more than three pounds guess you could say this gar really spotted an opportunity
