Say hello to the spotted gar, a species that still boasts primitive features, like a swim bladder connected to their esophagus that acts like a lung! This unique adaptation enables gars to breathe air in low-oxygen, stagnant waters. It’s FIN-credible to think that this prehistoric fish has been around for so long and still manages to survive in some of the harshest environments.
