Summary

A long snout. Hundreds of teeth. Scales that could slice you. What is a gar and should we fear it? Should we hug it? One of the world’s most passionate and knowledgeable experts on this ancient, mysterious fish joins to make you fall in love with these slimy longbois. Dr. Solomon David is affable, charming, enthusiastic and absolutely shameless when it comes to fish puns. Slip into some hip waders and jump in the muck to learn all about a creature that -- despite decades of mudslinging -- is not a gar-bage fish. Also: why gar caviar is a hella bad idea.

that topic when you're supposed to be doing actual work and tell people weird facts and

maybe have a dream about the topic later. I dreamed about car last night, so let's get

into it. Okay, first off, thank you for making this show a thing. Thanks to everyone at patreon.com

slash Allegis. If you have been wanting to join that special treehouse with us, it's

who leave reviews and who rate and subscribe to shows, keeping up in the charts. Some days

0:34.8

I'm a sad creep and your reviews always cheer me up, so I read them all. Everyone, and

0:39.8

I prove it by picking a new one. And this time it's from someone called Ali Reel, who

1:22.7

One of the worlds top gaurologists, in fact, so gaurologist, not a common word, in all

of my digging, I was only able to find it referenced one time in one book. But what even

1:33.9

is a gaur? Okay, so a gaur, the word comes from old hydromanic for spear. And this is primarily
