Tarpon are mysterious, able to live in both fresh and saltwater, breathing in and above water by gulping air with a swim bladder. Tarpon’s ancestors lived before dinosaurs up to 125 million years ago. They formed into modern Tarpon 18 million years ago, that live longer than 60 years and grow to nearly 300 pounds!
