An installation at the Witte Museum is exploring rare and enormous fish found all over the world.
“One of these monster fish that is native to our Texas rivers is something called an alligator gar which according to our fossil records, has been here for 100 million years,” Abbey Jacks, enviornmental science education manager said.
“These monster fish are so important to their ecosystems, because they do things to control some of the population of some of the smaller fish,” Jacks said. “Some of these animals can get up to 10 feet. Even 20 feet. Several hundred. Some even 1,200 pounds,” Jacks said.
