Here there be Dragons
Is it really possible to create or is the pinacle humans can achieve creativity?
Dragon’s might seem like a novel idea, but after seeing one of these things washed ashore, the concept doesn’t seem that clever.
Add some bat wings, and you’ve basically got a dragon.
I saw this washed ashore on Lake Michigan. It’ll make me think twice next time I go for a dip, but I don’t think it’ll stop me from enjoying the water.
I don’t know what species this is, but it looks nasty. If you happened to know the name of this kind of fish let me know in the comments section!
Update: The people have spoken! It turns out this isn’t actually a dragon, but instead a Longnose Gar.
John I believe that’s a longnose gar.
Matt is correct; Longnose garp, gar or garpike. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/gallery/descript/longnosegar/longnosegar.html for more info. Nice picture. I never thought I’d say that about a dead fish. 🙂
It looks like a longnosed gar whose tail has been bitten off….
Wow, I can’t really tell how big it is from the photo. Is it pretty small?
Longnose gar is correct.
It sounds like longnose gar is correct!
@Kim “A picture of a dead fish,” I agree it doesn’t sound that great, but thanks!
@JP I don’t really remember how big it was, 2 foot maybe?
