[Polypterus]

1. Throw away the Audubon guide it sucks....

2. Gar taxonomy made simple

There are more hybrid combinations also... Oculatus x Platostomus, Osseus x Platostomus, Oculatus X platyrhinchus and Tropicus x Spatula are all documented or reported.

i definitely agree...at least with other guides being out there, audubon is not so hot. if you are going to reference a good field guide for north american freshwater fishes, use the petersons field guide...it's far superior and i have the students buy this guide whenever i've taught the ichthyology lab. it's the most-used fishes book for me throughout my years in fisheries thus far--
