The alligator gar (*Atractosteus spatula*) is one of the largest freshwater fish in North America, native to rivers, lakes, and bayous of the southeastern United States. Known for its elongated snout filled with sharp, conical teeth, the alligator gar has a skull adapted for a predatory lifestyle, allowing it to capture and consume fish, crustaceans, and even small mammals. Its skull structure features a heavily armored, bony head that reflects its role as an apex predator in its habitat.

This replica is created from a precise 3D scan of an authentic alligator gar skull, cast in durable resin, and hand-painted to capture each detail, from the elongated jaw to the intricate cranial textures.

Ideal for ichthyologists, educators, and collectors, this alligator gar skull replica provides a close-up view into the anatomy and adaptations of one of North America’s most ancient and formidable fish species.
