(CORRECTION) Alligator Gar

I used to have images of a creature which I had labeled as a "liopleurodon-like" animal that was found washed up on the beach in Mexico. One of our listeners (Caleb) pointed out that is an alligator gar (see attachment), a creature I was not previously aware of. I've removed that image and paragraph.


I found it interesting because they look like miniature liopleurodons. Is it possible that one of these can grow large enough for that? Or is it that these are related to liopleurodons; meaning that they're the same kind? Without testing both creatures, it's impossible to tell one way or another; just food for thought.

Hey Chris, I'm not sure what the biggest one ever found is around my area in west Tennessee,
but I've often wondered when playing as a kid around a local river lol.
I haven't forgot the time when we had a nearby beaver pond dry up. The last thing living
were about 20-40 alligator gars in about a 10 by 30 hole only about a foot deep. Reminded
me of a bunch of pigs wallowing in the mud.
They ranged in length from around a 2 foot to 4 foot. It was surprising how long they lived
in that little puddle!
