The community, which sits south of West Colonial Drive between North Hiawassee and North Kirkman roads, has endured ongoing flooding.

Neighbors have begun to assess the damages left behind by the hurricane, and at one home, Hodges spotted a seemingly ancient fish called the Florida gar.

The fish had become trapped in a homeowner’s fence during the flooding.

The bony, prehistoric fish has scales that form a hard armor, according to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

They typically inhabit streams, canals and lakes with mud or sand bottoms near underwater vegetation, FWC said.

“(Gar) use an airbladder to breathe air in low-oxygen water,” the agency said. “Adults primarily feed on fish, shrimp and crayfish.”

The largest-ever Florida gar captured in Florida weighed almost 10 pounds.
