Speaking of ugly things that give us the willies- the southern part of
MO is well known for its own oddity (besides me).  Most folks have
never heard of an Alligator Gar.  (There are also Paddlefish, called
Spoonbills, but they're more common).  You really have to be a kid
wading in a farm pond and see a 4-5' long Alligator Gar swim by
lazily- eyeing you- to understand primitive fear.  I've personally
seen some with heads 18" wide and snouts, full of long scraggly teeth,
30" long.  While scavengers, they also have been known to eat ducks,
geese, swans and small mammals.
