[E_americanus]

there are seven extant species of 'true gars' (meaning those belonging to the family Lepisosteidae). two genera, Lepisosteus & Atractosteus. photos of all species and their scientific names can be found in the gar section of www.primitivefish.com.

there is also information in this forum, hence re-typing it all here would be a bit repetitive. hope that helps--
