The Buffalo Bayou is a 52-mile river that flows through the heart of our city. It’s home to some of the most beautiful parks. It seems these days, we’re also learning more about the different species of fish that live between the murky waters of our Bayou. But one fish in particular seems to be in the headlines more often these days; the Alligator Gar. Today, contributor Scott Solomon and Kory Evans, assistant professor of BioSciences at Rice University, join lead producer Dina Kesbeh to talk about the different species that live in the Bayou and the evolution of their body shapes.
