Beware of the Alligator Gar!


So we found this online one day and it still gives me the creeps. What other weird animals do you know of?

"The Alligator Gar... is a primitive ray-finned fish. Unlike other Gars, the mature Alligator Gar possesses a dual row of large teeth in the upper jaw. These remarkably Alligator-like teeth, along with its snout, give it its name... Their scales are diamond-shaped and interlocking and are sometimes used by Native Americans for jewelry. The Alligator Gar is capable of breathing air and can survive up to two hours above water." -- Wikipedia

The photo strikes me that those two were really meant for one another. Similar to how people come to resemble their dogs? Kinda sweet, in an awkardly primitive way..
