Gator Gar sttacks on humans

[xander]

scales cause they cut really bad. then head, but mainly cause of the way they sneak towards your hands when you put it in the water surface.

I have no issue getting into a pond with a big gator gar.... Been there and done that..

Your answer to the above question BTW is way off....Which tells me you have never worked with these and have very "little" gar experience.

I doubt that there's more than 5 people on this entire forum that have gotten into a pond/lake/tank near a Gar that big.....

Protecting territory???

Where also has this event, Gar attacking people, ever been documented?... That can be verified...

Here is a quiz for you all... Which part of a big Gar gar is more un-nerving:

Head, Teeth, scales, or tail?
Anyone that has worked with them should get this question really fast...

Tail would be the most unnerving.

 

[channarox]

head or tail...

 

[alcohologist]

Well I am going to set up a bigger pond for the alligator gars I am currently growing up so next year when there 3-4 foot i will hop in and see if they eat me


Seem no one knows if they will "attack" people.

 

[xander]

they will attack whatever they think they can eat but they do not have a preference for attacking humans over other things

Tail would be the most unnerving.

Finally someone gets it....

Of coarse it is dramatized it is a TV show... The guy who guided the Gator gar segment Kirk Kirkland however is an awesome guy, Knows what he is doing and has found some Monster Gator gars..
