I love the way the second picture shows the significant snout differences in some of these species, such as the two Lepisosteus sp. versus the three Cubans (Atractosteus).
Then there's the broadest snout of the Leps, the Florida, compared to the longest and thinnest of the Leps, the Longnose.
Anyone new to gars could learn a lot just from that one picture!
(Also worth noting to anyone who doesn't know that Alex's longnose gar is enormous! Must be getting to 30" by now)
Okay I'll shut up about gar now.
Again, very inspiring pictures.
