Gars can grow up to 3 m (10 ft) in length, making them one of the largest freshwater fish in the region. They are ambush predators, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and small mammals. Gars have a slow growth rate and can live for many years. They are not endangered, though habitat destruction and pollution have impacted some populations.
