Freshwater Garfish
Xenentodon cancila
Adults inhabit slow rivers, canals, lakes, and flooded lowlands across South and Southeast Asia. They wait near the surface or among cover before lunging at small fish, aquatic insects, and crustaceans. The long, narrow jaws are lined with sharp teeth that help seize slippery prey.
