GAR MAIL Thanks @garlab.bsky.social! 🥹

As we approach the end of #GarWeek please behold my favorite gar at @okczoo.bsky.social who is full of whimsy and confusion about glass

BEST. #GARWEEK. POST. GARgantuan thank you @caseydavid.bsky.social for supporting the garsanity!

It’s #Garweek! When you’re married to the gar guy, gars are along for the ride too! A few examples: gar to help celebrate our wedding, gar to help announce a pregnancy and gars to welcome our kids into the world . Here’s to these awesome fish and the man behind #garweek. 🙌🏻🫶

This is indeed a gar! Alligator Gar to be exact. The “Bar Gar” is an elusive but exciting find! #GarWeek

I’ve been fascinated by leucistic/albino animals since childhood, when my grandpa told me a story of a white deer he encountered. Here are a few I’ve found in aquaria & exhibits. #GarWeek

How did I get this far in life without knowing?

This gar decoy was a gift from a friend who knows I would appreciate it! Decoys are used to attract fish during winter spearfishing. #GarWeek

Anyways! I drew my favorite longnose gar at my local aquarium for #GarWeek

It's Gar Week! Alligator Gar are Illinois' largest fish and due to overfishing and a lack of public knowledge were functionally extinct by 1966. However, in the last few years, we have been reintroducing them! As a resident of a river town, these fish are integral to the ecosystem. Also super cool!

Harmless to humans? It's so beautiful I might die! The gars are among my favorite fishes.

In honor of #garweek day two I’m sharing one of my favorite gems from @hankgreen.bsky.social 🫶 cc: @solomonrdavid.bsky.social

“What’s the deal with GARS?” Here’s a #GarWeek mega-thread of gar stories (aka GARticles) over the years: First up: Gar Wars by @matthewlmiller.bsky.social blog.nature.org/science/2015...

Alligator #gar are an incredible fish, and one of the largest freshwater fish in North America- reaching over 6 feet long and weighing over 100 pounds. They may even reach 8+ feet and 300+ pounds! This skull was photographed by @nerdrvt.bsky.social on a BTS tour of NEAQ several years ago. #GarWeek

“I never met anyone as enthusiastic about anything as Solomon was about gar.”— @caseydavid.bsky.social My profile of @solomonrdavid.bsky.social #GarWeek #25DaysofFishmas

The trip culminated in DIY alligator gar day where a “short stop” turned into an all-day pursuit of gar in canals. After running out of food & water we landed this gar on an artificial lure. One of my favorite catches ever. #GarWeek

#garweek continues! Here’s another picture of snoop log from last year. (Alligator #gar - Atractosteus spatula)(Shot at Cincinnati #zoo 5-27-23) #photography #fishsky #fishmas #fish #monsterfish 🐠

I'm a day late for the start of #GarWeek, but I thought I would share some of my old #GARtwork in celebration of these awesome fish.

🐠 Guys, it’s freakin #garweek!! The coolest and silliest monster #fish you’ll ever see! (Alligator #gar - Atractosteus spatula) (shot at Cincinnati #zoo 11-17-24) #photography

Life update: #garweek

I know next to nothing about gar but happy to celebrate them anyway!

A semi-long time ago In a bayou gar, gar away… #GarWeek with @solomonrdavid.bsky.social #25DaysofFishmas

The Florida gar is abundant in the Everglades, quite visible in wetlands & canals. At times, you can get bites on every cast (landing one is a different story). #GarWeek #25DaysofFishmas

in these unprecedented times, never let your gar down. #GarWeek

#GARWEEK IS HERE!!! We’re excited to celebrate this “most-loathed,” misunderstood, and amazing group of living fossil fishes with you all! Enjoy this Intro to Gars @ologies.bsky.social from #Garology! Feel free to share YOUR #GarPuns, photos, #GARtwork and any other GARish posts!
