Personally I don’t really care about the alligator gar. I get it, he got a big fish.
But the prehistoric alligator snapping turtle, ? that is really something. It’s a prehistoric animal that is still alive? Wow.
I'm not sure what your point is. A quick Google search shows that snapping turtles have been around for about 90 million years while the alligator gar has been around for 215 million years. In terms of antiquity, the gar is far more prehistoric than the snapping turtle.
