well I think the alligator gar is one cool fish. i would like to see this
one on a cap. i like to wear caps. also I have lots of teashirts. i
collect and wear them all the time. i really like the animal ones with the
big picture on the front NOT the back. so I vote to put the big picture on
the front with common names. i would like to see some real live alligator
gars. hehe. cool fish. if the picture is redrawn make that alligator gar
a center piece. hehe.

my guess is my cool red fin pickerel would run away from that alligator gar.
come on world. stop the loss of cool fish. clean up the waters of
america and the world.
