	Gar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In American English the name gar (or garpike) is strictly applied to members of the Lepisosteidae, a family including seven living species in two genera that inhabit fresh, brackish, and occasionally marine, waters of eastern North America, Central America, and the Caribbean islands.
		In British English the name gar was originally used for a species of needlefish, Belone belone, found in the North Atlantic.
		The gars are members of the Lepisosteiformes (or Semionotiformes), an ancient order of primitive ray-finned fish; fossil gars are known from the Permian onwards.
