#GarWeek!
Meant to post this during #GarWeek but life has just been busy!

Always enjoy watching the gar at the Oklahoma Aquarium use those primitive lungs!

Me, waiting for the next #GarWeek.

ALSO me, after this past #GarWeek 😅

Couple follow-up posts coming, but wanted to say a GARgantuan THANK YOU to everyone who participated, supported, put up with the puns and garish info this past week!

Even though #Garweek has ended, we wanted to keep the ancient fish love going this week! Join us on Friday where we'll learn about lake sturgeon repatriation with Dr. Jeff Wyatt!

Was in OKC visiting family and spent one morning at the Museum of Osteology. I figured if anyone had a Gar Skeleton…

A quick doodle for the final day of #GarWeek, a large melanistic Alligator Gar cruises underneath an oblivious Ocelot somewhere in the bayous of Louisiana. A scene that may have happened several times in the past, and may continue to occur if both species are valued and protected. #wildlife #sciart

Combining the life cycle theme for #sundayfishsketch h with #GarWeek for a quick ink sketch of the Alligator Gar life cycle. Eggs -> larval -> juvenile -> adult -> back to eggs!

Don't eat those eggs!

Is #GarWeek some international, cross-disciplinary scientific festival, or do I just happen to follow all the gar scientists?

I feel like at an intruder at a wedding sometimes this week...

I'm still in time for #garweek? I've always thought long toothy snoots are cute. Pen and watercolor gar.

Annual #garweek post! As @solomonrdavid.bsky.social ‘s favorite week comes to a close, we say cheers to these fantastic fishes! I loved having a reason to wear all my gar jewelry 🫶

Low-quality video of a shortnose gar in honor of high-quality #garweek. This fish was spotted in the Grand River (MI) during the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting in 2023, which also happened to be the same week I met @solomonrdavid.bsky.social for the first time! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Name: Gilgarmesh
Location: Gigaglades
Status: Active

Brief Summary
Gilgarmesh appeared soon after the Global Superstorm that had ravaged the entire planet. Florida went under. Up came a ecosystem of monsters, with this a Gar big as a Whale.

“Are you the gar girl from downstairs?”

YES! Happy #GarWeek and Aquarium Friday! The ancestral fishes exhibit at NEAQ has all sorts of freshwater friends, including gar, lungfish, sturgeon, and more ❤️🐟🦑

Big thanks to @garlab.bsky.social as always for a great week!

It's a #GarWeek #FossilFriday! Here's some of the ganoid scales off of gar that we routinely find when scouting in the Hell Creek. So far only 1 complete gar skeleton has been found in the HCF, and I found it a full 10 years before I found my first Tyrannosaurus.

Thanks to Dr. Solomon David, I have recently discovered the existence of #GarWeek . Gars, and especially alligator gars, mysterious denizens of dark water in my part of the world, are among my favorite animals, and I applaud his championing them to the wider, perhaps less gar-cognizant world.

Beyond Minnesota, #GarLab contributes to research much further down the Mississippi River! In partnership with The Nature Conservancy in Mississippi, we study gar ecology and life history in floodplain habitats. #GarWeek
