WATCH: Marbella council fail to catch predatory fish

THE now famous alligator gar fish found in Marbella managed to elude capture this morning (Friday).

Council workers attempted to trap the fish three times before eventually giving up and scheduling another attempt on Monday.

They had come close to capturing it twice, but the gar managed to bite through the nets being used.

The plan was to transfer it from the La Represa Park to Fuengirola Bioparc.
