What's in the moat?

WHAT is that?!?!

an alligator gar. I like those freaky looking fish. They're all over around here. Believe it or not they'e not nearly as vicious as they look. Because they look so much like alligators in murky waters, they're often blamed for alligator attacks.

It is sad, because in some river they're nearly hunter to extinction because they're ugly, inedible, and wrongly believed to be vicious.

People shoot them with bows just for the fun of it.

Oh and their eggs are poisonous.
