I usually hang back on social media, content to observe all the cool science going on, but every time #garweek ends I sit here in the weeks following and want more. In light of this, I suggest we take over the the entire month of March and rebrand it #GARch. A full twelfth of the year for gar please

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…

Black-and-white pencil sketch of a melanistic Alligator Gar swimming underneath a much smaller Ocelot that’s paddling on the surface above it.

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

Ink sketch of alligator gar life cycle from egg to adult and back again.

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.

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 🐟🐠

shiny black scales from 66 million year old gar in a curatorial palm.

shiny black scales from 66 million year old gar in a curatorial palm.

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
