A Comparison of Two Majestic Predators of Water: The Gar Pike and the Common Pike This evocative photographic print, sourced from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases two remarkable specimens of freshwater fish: the Gar Pike (Lepisosteus osseus) and the Common Pike (Esox lucius). The top image, dating back to the late 19th century, captures the Gar Pike, also known as the Longnose Gar or Longnose Garpike, with its distinctive elongated snout and armored body. This prehistoric-looking fish, native to North America, is an ancient species that has remained relatively unchanged for over 150 million years. Below, the Common Pike, a native European fish, is depicted in the bottom image from the same century. With its distinctive elongated, arrow-shaped body and powerful jaws, the Common Pike is a formidable predator in its own right. Both species are renowned for their impressive size and aggressive hunting skills, making them popular targets for anglers. This historical photographic print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich marine life of the past, highlighting the beauty and diversity of two remarkable fish species. The Gar Pike, with its ancient lineage, and the Common Pike, a symbol of European freshwater fisheries, serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our aquatic ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. The intricate details of these fish, captured in this photographic print, provide a captivating window into the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the wonder and complexity of the marine life that surrounds us.
