成为淡水巨型动物。 as fresh water megafauna.
Gar是进化大师。 Gar are masters of evolution.
他们在恐龙 They have survived beyond the dinosaurs
和后来的一切之后幸存下来。 and everything that came after.
直到他们的存在遇到 了不可避免的命运， Until their existence ran up against an inescapable fate,
人类。 humans.
我要摇摇晃晃的船了。 I'm about to rock the boat.
而这一集 即将掀起波澜。 And this episode is about to make some waves.
因此，如果您准备好加入战斗， So if you're ready to join the fight,
我们将 有机会一起拯救这些鱼。 together we stand the chance of saving these fish.
欢迎来到加尔战争。 Welcome to the Gar Wars.
保护鱼类的力量已经觉醒。 A conservation fish force has awoken.
有一次我钓到了一条大鱼。 I caught a big fish once.
也许你还记得我 与蓝鲶鱼的相遇。 Perhaps you remember my encounter with the blue catfish.
- [男] 那男孩怎么样？ - [Male] How 'bout that boy?
- [土狼] 圣牛。 - [Coyote] Holy cow.
好吧，如果你认为 这是一个令人印象深刻的 Well, if you thought that was an impressive
淡水河怪物。 freshwater river monster.
you aren't going to believe your eyes
当你看到这一集的走向时，你不会相信自己的眼睛。 when you see where this episode is headed.
但在我们开始 But before we get to catchin'
捕鱼之前，我们得先去钓鱼。 first, we gotta go fishin'.
在这场野鱼追逐中， On this wild fish chase,
我将与 Gar Guys 一起工作。 I will be working alongside the Gar Guys.
海登、马克斯和弗洛里安。 Hayden, Max and Florian.
Hayden 是德克萨斯 A&M 的一名研究生， Hayden is a graduate student from Texas A&M
他正在 who is researching alligator Gar
为他的硕士项目研究鳄鱼 Gar。 for his master's project.
Max 和 Florian 两个来自荷兰的野生荷兰人 While Max and Florian two wild Dutchmen
和经验丰富的 Gar 牧马人 and experienced Gar wranglers
正在 from the Netherlands are working in tandem
与 Hayden 的研究协同工作，作为他们 with Hayden's research as part of their
毕业实习和 graduation internship and the completion
完成硕士学位的一部分。 of their master's degree.
这些人比你想象的更 喜欢鱼。 These guys love fish more than you can possibly comprehend.
所以对我和马里奥来说，能够 So for me, and Mario, it's an honor to
记录他们的过程 并分享他们 document their process and sharing their fight
为保护物种而奋斗的过程是我的荣幸。 for the conservation of the species.
所以现在，我们正在 做的是使用 So right now, what we're doing is using a scanner
蜂鸟系统的扫描仪来 确定 the hummingbird system to determine if there are fish
该区域是否有鱼。 in this area.
我们看到 这台扫描仪上出现了一些小痕迹。 And we're seeing little marks show up on this scanner.
这绝对看起来 That definitely look
好像它们可能是非常大的鱼， as if they could be very large fish,
这是一个好兆头。 which is a good sign.
Max，你喜欢这个地方吗？ Max, do you like this spot?
- 我们绝对喜欢这个地方。 - We definitely like this spot.
它有一些松弛的水 It has some slack water
，这基本上是我们捕捉这些鱼所需要的， and that's basically what we need to
因为它们 catch these fish because they
真的很喜欢远离水流 really like to be out of the current
，我们实际上可以 有效地设置我们的网。 and we can actually efficiently set our nets.
否则电流会带走它们。 Otherwise the current would take them.
鱼不会游进去， And the fish won't swim in,
否则它们会弹开。 or they would just bounce off.
所以这似乎是 捕捉他们的好地方。 So this seems to be a really good spot to catch 'em.
- 好的。 所以 - Okay. So this sounds
这听起来可能是 我们下一个刺网的地方。 like this may be a spot for us to cast the next gillnet.
让我们看看这里是否是 Let's see if this is the lucky location
捕捉怪物 Gar 的幸运地点。 to catch a monster Gar.
这个看起来简单但高科技的设备 This simple looking yet high tech device
揭示了许多水的秘密， reveals many of the water secrets
包括隐藏的障碍物， 如树木、水深 including hidden obstacles like trees, water depth,
，如果幸运的话，还可以看到鱼的独特 身体特征。 and if we're lucky, the distinct body signatures of fish.
钓竿和卷轴是一种非常 运动的钓鱼方式， Rod and reel is a very sporty way to fish for Gar,
但在他们的骨嘴里设置鱼钩 but setting a hook in their bony mouths
几乎是不可能的。 can be nearly impossible.
并对鱼施加了 难以置信的压力。 And places an incredible amount of stress on the fish.
因此，为了减轻影响，我们将 So to lessen the impact we will fish
使用 200 英尺 宽 x 10 英尺高的刺网捕鱼。 with gillnets 200 feet wide by 10 feet tall.
我们小心翼翼地将 超大的渔网穿过河流， We carefully stretch the supersize nets across the river,
一个上游，另一个下游。 one upstream and another downstream.
亮黄色的浮标 有助于使网保持漂浮状态， Bright yellow buoys helped to keep the net a float,
同时也 向团队发出信号。 while also working as a signal to the team.
如果一条鱼游入并被 网缠住， If a fish swims into and becomes entangled in the net
这些明亮的指示灯 会上下摆动， these bright indicators will bob up and down
提醒鱼已被捕获。 alerting that a fish has been caught.
好的，我们正式 Okay, we officially have
在水中设置了前两个网。 the first two nets set in the water.
寻找 Gar 的下一部分 称为等待。 The next part of looking for Gar is called waiting.
我们将花大约一个 小时来观察网， We're gonna spend about an hour just watching the nets
希望浮标最终能 浮出水面。 hoping that eventually the buoys go beneath the surface.
如果一直下去， If one goes all the way down,
弗洛里安和马克斯说这 Florian and Max said that that pretty
几乎意味着你得到了一条怪物鱼。 much means you've got a monster fish.
所以我们要 保持祈祷。 So we're going to keep our fingers crossed.
我们喜欢设置网的地方。 We like the spots where the nets are set.
现在我们坐等，看看会发生什么。 Now we sit and wait, see what happens.
河流怪物这个词， The term river monster,
是对 is an all too familiar description
潜伏在我们星球流动的淡水系统表面之下的一种看似恶意的动物的一种非常熟悉的描述 of a seemingly malicious animal that lurks
beneath the surface of our planet's
。 flowing freshwater systems.
公平地说， In fairness,
这也是我一直以来 it's also the title of my all time
最喜欢的电视连续剧的标题。 favorite television series.
然而， 重新定义 Gar 的真正含义很重要， However, it's important to redefine what the Gar truly is
因为“怪物”一词带有 because the term monster carries with it
不公平的臭名昭著的名声。 an unfairly assigned notorious reputation.
全世界有 七种这种多齿鱼。 Worldwide there are seven species of these toothy fish.
其中三个我们可能 会在这方面遇到。 Three of which we may encounter in this area.
斑点雀斑 ，美丽地散布 The Spotted Gar, which is beautifully speckled
在不协调的斑点阵列中。 in an uncoordinated array of spots.
长鼻雀因其 The Long Nose Gar named for it's
绝对纤细且 明显拉长的鼻子而得名。 definitively slender and noticeably elongated snout.
还有被 称为 Gar 帮派中规模最大 And the Alligator Gar, which hails as the largest
、最具 威胁性的 Alligator Gar。 and seemingly most menacing of the Gar gang.
是的，它们大、快、有 Yes, they are big, fast,
盔甲，并配备了成排 armor scaled and equipped with rows
的针状牙齿， of needle like teeth,
但不要让它们的外观使 but don't let their appearance snap
您最初的假设 成为错误的指控，即 your initial assumptions into false accusations
Gar 不会攻击人类。 Gar do not attack humans.
老实说，唯一 有据可查的咬伤 And honestly, the only well-documented bites,
来自垂钓者 derive from anglers that are accidentally bitten
在试图取下鱼钩时被意外咬伤。 while trying to remove fishing hooks.
然而，正是近 100 年前未受过教育的恐惧监测 Yet it was uneducated fear monitoring,
dating back nearly 100 years,
，将鳄鱼加到 that put the Alligator Gar
on a hit list of North America's dangerous animals.
可悲的是 Sadly populations have been extirpated in many areas
，其自然分布范围内的许多地区的人口已经灭绝。 of their natural range.
如果现在情况不能变得更糟， And if things couldn't get worse
这些鱼将面临新的威胁。 now these fish face a new threat.
弓狩猎。 Bow hunting.
但在我们 打开这个敏感话题的大门之前。 But before we kick the door open on that sensitive topic.
首先，我们最好检查一下网 First, we better check the nets
好的，现在 Okay right now we're motoring
我们正在开车上河去检查 up river on our way to check one
一个已经放置了大约 of the nets that's been sitting for about,
40 分钟的网。 40 minutes.
（含糊不清的谈话） (indistinct talking)
什么？ What?
- [海登] 那个浮标动了。 - [Hayden] That buoy moved.
- [Coyote] 我们的浮标有一些动静。 这张网 - [Coyote] We got some movement in a buoy.
里可能有 There may be a fish
鱼。 up in this net.
- [海登] 我很快就看到了 ，老实说。 - [Hayden] I saw it pretty quick man, I'll be honest.
- [土狼] 好的。 我们可能有东西。 - [Coyote] Okay. We might have something.
好吧，让我们去做吧。 All right let's do it.
现在只是 盯着那些浮标。 Right now just keeping eyes on those buoys.
如果里面有鱼， If there's a fish in there,
我们不想惊吓它， we don't want to startle it
因为虽然它们可能会被 because while they may get tangled
网缠住， up in the net,
但它们也很容易 it's also rather easy for them to get
出去，除非我们让网 实际上卷在鱼周围。 out unless we get the net actually curled around the fish.
于是十指相扣。 So fingers crossed.
我们真的很喜欢 我们最初拥有这一套的方式。 We really liked the way that we have this set originally.
哦，有一条鱼，鱼。 Oh, got a fish, fish.
- [Max] 哦，真的。 - [Max] Oh, for real.
哦，鼻子好长。 Oh, it's a long nose.
不错哦。 Oh, nice.
- [土狼]哇！ - [Coyote] Wow!
是的，看那个！ Yes, look at that!
哦，哇！ Oh, wow!
- [男] 这么好？ - [Male] That good?
- [男 2] 是的。 - [Male 2] Yup.
- [Max] 呃，是的，拜托了。 - [Max] Uh, yes please.
- [Coyote] 所以现在 - [Coyote] So right now,
，Max 正在做的是 轻轻地 what Max is doing is gently getting the net
从 Gars 牙齿中取出网，这是 out of the Gars teeth
非常危险的小程序。 very dangerous little procedure here.
我们有这些， 所谓的网钩。 We've got these, what are called net hooks.
这样他就不会 在这个过程中失去一根手指。 This is so he does not lose a finger in the process.
- [男] 带上所有的时间。 - [Male] Take all the time.
- 这是我第一次遇到以前 - This is my first encounter ever with a
从未见过的长鼻雀 。 Long Nose Gar never seen one of these before.
它的 It's beautiful look how bluish
颜色很漂亮，颜色是蓝色的。 in coloration it is.
- [Max] 这也是一个体面的长鼻子尺寸。 - [Max] It's a decent size Long Nose too.
- [土狼] 来了！ - [Coyote] There it is!
- [Max] 就在那里。 - [Max] There it is.
- 惊人的。 - Amazing.
看那个。 Look at that.
那是长鼻雀。 That is a Long Nose Gar.
现在长鼻雀 Now Long Nose Gar gets its name
因其细长的鼻子而得名。 because of that elongated snout.
仔细一看， If you take a good look there,
那嘴里长满 了尖利的牙齿， that mouth is filled full of needle sharp teeth,
现在他们是专门吃鱼的。 now they specialized in eating fish.
你可以看到，如果你是一条鱼 And you could see that if you were a fish
，被卡在那些下巴里， and you got stuck in those jaws,
那将是非常糟糕的一天。 it would be a very bad day.
看看颜色中的蓝色 彩虹色。 And look at the blue iridescence in coloration.
这是一条绝对美丽的鱼。 This is an absolutely beautiful fish.
就像鳄鱼雀一样， And just like the Alligator Gar,
它们身上覆盖着这些装甲鳞片， they are covered in these armored scales,
大眼睛 在头部的侧面呈球状。 big eyes bulbous right on the side of the head.
他们有令人难以置信的远见。 They have incredible vision.
而那流线型的机身，基本上 And that streamlined body basically
让它们成为了一根长长的肌肉导弹。 makes them a long muscular missile.
在水下，这些鱼的 速度令人难以置信。 Underwater these fish have incredible speed.
现在，这些鱼可以在 Now these fish can stay out of water
很长一段时间内远离水。 for a significant amount of time.
现在，这条鱼正在 And right now the fish is
secreting this very thick,
从它的鳞片上分泌这种非常粘稠的粘液。 slippery mucus from its scales.
这有助于保持水分。 That's helping to keep it hydrated.
我们不想让它 离开水太久。 We don't want to keep it out of the water for too long.
多么美丽的鱼。 What a beautiful fish.
我就是无法克服， I just can't get over,
多么不可思议，多么 史前时代。 how incredible and how prehistoric looking.
这些动物是。 These animals are.
现在我想说这大约 Now I'd say this is about average size
是长鼻雀的平均尺寸。 for a Long Nose Gar.
They get quite a bit bigger than this
在某些情况下，它们会比这大得多，但 对于第一次看到长鼻雀 in some instances, but for seeing a Long Nose Gar
， for the first time,
我认为它不会 比这更好。 I don't think it can get much better than this.
河流总是 让你为之努力。 And the river always makes you work for it.
你不会 You're not going to get the Alligator Gar
在第一次捕获时就得到鳄鱼。 on the first catch.
但是看到这个物种绝对 But seeing this species is definitely
是我们希望 something that we hoped would happen
在这里与 Gar Guys 一起工作时会发生的事情。 while out here working with the Gar Guys.
好吧。 Alright.
好吧。 让我们继续检查网络。 Alright. Let's keep checking the net.
这是个好地方。 This is a good spot.

我们的第一个鳄鱼雀。 Our first Alligator Gar.
好吧，绝对 要小心那个鼻子 Alright, definitely have to watch out for that snout
和那个满是 针尖牙齿的头骨。 and that skull full of needle, sharp teeth.
所以我们现在正在做的是 So what we're doing right now is
安全地让 Gar 脱离网络。 safely getting the Gar out of the net.
越平静，我们就越能保持鱼 The calmer, we can keep the fish
的压力越小。 the less stress we put on it.
更好的是它的健康和安全。 The better for its health and safety.
这是一个非常大的鳄鱼雀。 That is a very good size Alligator Gar.
- 好的，现在你 往下滑一点。 - Alright, now you slide down a little bit.
- 好的。 - Okay.
- 你可以看到它只是 被牙齿咬住了。 - You can see it's just caught with its teeth.

与其他鱼类相比。 As compared to other fish.
眼睛被毛巾盖住了。 Eyes covered with the towel.
- 是的。 - Yup.
它承受的压力较小。 It experiences less stress.
- 就像鳄鱼一样。 - Just like alligators.
好的。 我们在上面放一条毛巾。 Okay. We keep a towel over it.
好的，很酷，让我们躲到阴凉处， Okay, cool, let's get into the shade and,
呃，收集一些生物识别信息。 uh, collect some biometrics.
鳄鱼加。 Alligator Gar.
就是这样。 There it is.
Gar Guys The Gar Guys collect meaningful biometrics
在他们捕获的任何鳄鱼 Gar 上收集有意义的生物识别信息。 on any Alligator Gar they catch.
包括鱼的头部长度。 Including the fish's head length.
- [最大] 22 个半。 - [Max] 22 and a half.
- [Coyote] 它是全身长度。 - [Coyote] It's full body length.
- 146 厘米。 - 146 centimeters.
- 哇。 - Wow.
和周长 And the girth circumference
- [最大] 58。 - [Max] 58.
- [土狼] 它的背鳍基部标 - [Coyote] The base of its dorsal fin is tagged
有独特的识别标志。 with unique identification flag.
并且快速插入微坑标签， 以便将来 And the micro pit tag is quickly inserted so that
如果鱼被捕获 ，它们可以快速扫描。 if the fish is caught in the future, they can quickly scan.
还有身份证 它。 And I.D. it.
你们准备好了吗？ Are you guys ready for this?
认识鳄鱼雀。 Meet the Alligator Gar.
看看那条鱼的大小 Look at the size of that fish,
，真正的河怪。 a true river monster.
最古老的鱼类之一 And one of the most ancient fish species,
，仍然在这个星球上游泳。 that still swims on this planet.
记住 Remember the relatives
这条鱼的亲戚可以追溯到 一亿年前 of this fish date back a hundred million years
，这意味着 这条鱼的表亲 which means that this fish's cousins were swimming
在恐龙之间游泳。 amongst the dinosaurs.
显然，头部 非常有趣。 Obviously the head is incredibly interesting.
当我把它像这样向右 And when I turn it like this right
转向你时，你向下看它 的鼻子顶部，他们从那宽阔的鼻子 toward you and you look down on top of the snout
上得到了鳄鱼的名字 ， they get the name Alligator Gar from that wide broad snout
它看起来就像 鳄鱼的这个鼻子。 it looks just like this snout of an alligator.
头骨的另一个很酷的 方面是 And one other cool aspect about the skull is the fact
，这些骨头 that these bones are interlocking
与肉质软骨相连， 使头骨能够扩张。 with this fleshy cartilage that allows the skull to expand.
所以这条鱼捕捉的猎物 So this fish catches a prey
比它 的嘴大， that's larger than it can fit in its mouth,
它的头骨实际上几乎 its skull actually stretches almost
像一条蛇一样伸展， 能够定位它的猎物 like a snake and that's able to position its prey
并将其吞下洞。 and swallow it down hole.
当你俯视 这条鱼的身体长度时， And when you look down the length of this fish's body
它是令人难以置信的流线型。 it is incredibly streamlined.
让我把它举起来一点点， Let me lift it up just a little bit,
就像一个巨大的肌肉导弹。 like a large muscular missile.
哦，来这里，伙计。 Oh, come here buddy.
当你到达尾部时 When you get down to the tail
，背鳍 在尾鳍附近。 the dorsal fin is way down near the caudal fin.
这条尾巴就像一个舵 And that tail works like a rudder
，帮助推动这条鱼 to help propel this fish forward
在它的水环境中前进。 through its water environment.
This fish is about as slippery as it gets in this direction.
但是，如果您将手向后移动， But if you run your hand backwards
它几乎感觉像砂纸。 it almost feels like sandpaper.
当你看到鱼 When you see the fish coming
像那样浮出水面并咬人时。 up to the surface like that and biting.
这不是因为它具有侵略性。 It's not because it's aggressive.
它实际上是在呼吸空气。 It's actually taking a breath of air.
请记住，该物种非常独特 Remember this species is very unique
，并且具有双峰呼吸。 and that it has bi-modal respiration.
它既可以在水面呼吸， It is able to breathe
也可以 通过鳃呼吸。 either at the surface or through its gills.
鱼可能需要 30 到 40 年 And it can take 30 to 40 years
的时间才能达到这样的大小。 for fish to reach just this size.
因此 ，采取保护措施以确保 So getting protections in place to make sure that the future
该物种的未来得到保护 是非常重要的。 of this species is preserved is incredibly important.
Gar Guys 正在做的工作 And the work that the Gar Guys are doing
以及我们展示这种 and our ability to feature this
鱼类的能力有望 帮助我们采取 fish species will hopefully help to get protections
适当的保护措施，使这些鱼 in place so that these fish are
在地球上再生存一 亿年。 on the planet for a hundred million more years.
多么不可思议的巨人。 What an incredible giant.
我一生 I've gone my entire life wanting to see
都想在野外看到鳄鱼。 an Alligator Gar in the wild.
我是 Coyote Peterson，勇敢点，保持狂野。 I'm Coyote Peterson, be brave, stay wild.
我们下一次冒险再见。 We'll see you on the next adventure.
好了，就到这里了。 All right here it goes.
毫无疑问。 There's no question about it.
那是一条大鱼， 但在 Gar 宇宙中， That was a big fish, but in the Gar universe
我们第一次捕获的只是 our first catch was simply a megafauna
在训练中的巨型动物候选者。 candidate in training.
现在，在我们 Now, before we got all excited
对检查渔网感到兴奋之前， about checking the nets,
我开始提到弓钓 I started to mention bow fishing
以及这项无法无天的运动如何 and how this lawless sport is taking a noticeable toll
对这些活物的未来造成显着影响。 on the future of these living relics.
还记得我警告过你不要 摇船吗？ Remember when I warned you about rocking the boat?
是时候穿上你的 救生衣了，因为保护的标题浪潮 It's time to put on your life jacket because the title wave
of conservation is building on the horizon.
我们需要您的支持， We need your support,
但在您提供帮助之前，请 务必见证 but before you can help it's important to witness what
我们为之奋斗的目标。 we are fighting for.
请继续关注史诗般的结论， Stay tuned for the Epic conclusion,
