Lepisoseidae

The family of Lepisoseidae contains the Garr. These fish mainly reside in freshwater areas, though some do stray into brachish waters. The garr has a long snout region made of elongated ethmoid bone and has a surprisingly small maxilla bone. Their mouths contain plicidentine teeth, in which the structure forms folds around the center of the tooth. A Garr's vertebra have opisthoelous centra, meaning the front of the vertebra is wedged outward, while the back is inward. These vertebra will therefore fit together, almost like a puzzle piece. The garr is a large ray finned and piscivarous fish, meaning it feeds mainly on other fish. They are covered in tough ganoid scales. Garr have a morphology which supports quick bursts of energy and a quick strike, rather than a constant high swimming speed. These are generally slow moving, but when prey drifts by it will quickly lash out to catch it and devour it.
