Spotted Gar Adaption

Have you ever wondered how much a spotted gar will change. Spotted gar are fish found in the Amazon rainforest, where the climate is hot and rainy. The rainforest is home to many fish species, including 13% of all freshwater fish. Unfortunately, the ecosystem is threatened by various factors such as low oxygen, climate change, water levels, and pollution. These factors are causing the gar to adapt with bigger gill plates, darker colors, and thicker fins to escape from predators faster. They are also developing stronger scales to better protect themselves. The gar's eyes will move higher on the head to keep a lookout for predators. The Amazon rainforest is a vital ecosystem that needs to be protected. By doing so, we can help preserve the diverse range of fish and other wildlife that call it home.
