You are wrong , this gar looks like a gator gar , but i m no sure ... maybe a tropical or even a hibrid form , more a crocodile for me

that is as gator as it gets! take it from E_americanus, he is a minor god when it comes to gars.. and on top of that, it looks like a gator, and not many gars get 2,5' and that massive. looks very good anyways..
