Is this from the Prehistoric Era ?

Just found this article about a creature that was captured called a Alligator Gar...

To me it looks more like one of those gigantic prehistoric Fish that you see as fossils in museums..

Never new they even existed..

In my other life..... when I was just eighteen I fancied myself sort of a jungle girl... lived at the edge of the Everglades.. and one of the things I enjoyed watching the most were those fish liesurely swimming  in and out of an Alligators open mouth.... I mean.... WIDE open *maybe as wide as the creature could get it! And absolutely still....... and these fish would just casually swim into and out of that mouth.... which worked well.... Until it didn't.
Suddenly the gator would snap those jaws shut and it made a very distinctive and very LOUD WHOMP sound. In the middle of the night that sound would carry across the water.... and you knew another couple of fish just got a little too comfortable with their surroundings. I took that as one of naures valuable lessons. Number one.... know your surroundings.... things are not always what they seem..... and never let your guard down.

Prehistoric looking? Sure! But look at the gator!!!    L
