People don’t often think of fish as having emotions, but this video shows us otherwise.
A man came across an alligator gar, a type of fish, not alligator, that was 35 inches long, living in a 40 inch long tank, in a pet store in Abu Dhabi.
He talked with the pet store owner and an official at the Abu Dhabi aquarium and together they’ve rescued the fish.
Check out the above video of this fish actually swimming for the FIRST TIME in it’s adult life.
It’s such a great moment when the fish is just sitting there then suddenly realizes it has room to move free!
Best part? The huge tank it’s in now is just a holding tank to get the fish used to the temperature difference before he moves to his permanent even larger more interesting tank!
