Description
Spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) is a North American freshwater fish. It belongs to the ancient family Lepisosteidae, which originates in the Late Jurassic - the age of dinosaurs. Spotted gar is characterized by its elongated body and snout, as well as by its cheetah-like spotted color pattern - features that help the fish in its predatory lifestyle. Their presence helps control mosquito populations.
