Alligator Gar

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Lepisosteiformes
Family: Lepisosteidae
Genus: Atractosteus
Species: A. spatula
Binomial name
Atractosteus spatula
(Lacépède, 1803)
Synonyms

Lepisosteus spatula Lacépède, 1803
Atractosteus adamantinus Rafinesque, 1818

The alligator gar, Atractosteus spatula, is a primitive ray-finned fish. It is also referred to as the gator gar. Unlike other gars, the mature alligator gar possesses a dual row of large teeth in the upper jaw. It is these remarkably alligator-like teeth which gives it its name. The dorsal surface of the alligator gar is a brown or olive-color, while the ventral surface tends to be a lighter color. Their scales are diamond-shaped and interlocking (ganoid) and were once used by Native Americans for jewelry.

The alligator gar is the largest species of gar and is the largest exclusively freshwater fish in North America. It can be as long as eight to twelve feet and often weighs at least 100 pounds at maturity. The current world record alligator gar weighed 279 pounds and was caught in the Rio Grande River in 1951. Even larger alligator gars — over 300 pounds — have been caught by trotliners.

Arapaima Gigas

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Osteoglossiformes
Family: Osteoglossidae
Subfamily: Heterotidinae
Genus: Arapaima
Species: A. gigas
Binomial name
Arapaima gigas
(Cuvier, 1829)

The arapaima, pirarucu, or paiche (Arapaima gigas) is a South American tropical freshwater fish. It is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, reportedly with a maximum length in excess of 3 m (9.8 ft.) and weight up to 200 kg (440 lb.).[citation needed] As one of the most sought after food fish species in South America, it is often captured by spearing for export, and, consequently, large arapaima of more than 2 m are seldom found in the wild today.

The diet of the arapaima consists of other fish or even small animals, including birds. The fish also has the ability to breathe air from the surface due to a lung-like lining of its throat, an advantage in oxygen-deprived water that is often found in the Amazon River. This fish is therefore able to survive extensive drought periods by gulping air and burrowing in the mud or sand of the swamps.

terus terang saya kalo ketemu alligator gar ama arapaima .. lebih serem alligator gar daripada arapaima, giginya itu lho kaga tahan.. , ketemu alligator gar udah kaya ketemu buaya beneran.. buaya masih rada lelet larinya.. ketemu alligator gar (golongan fishy) berenang kaya kilat kali.. nda bisa survive..
