Description

The Gharial (Gavialis Gangeticus) also known as the gavial or fish-eating crocodile is a mostly aquatic crocodilian. The gharial lives in the rivers of the northern part of India. They are not physically suited for land and only leave the water to sleep in the sun or to nest. They do not need to lunge at prey like other crocodilians as their snouts can detect vibrations in the water. Young gharials eat insects, tadpoles, small fish and frogs. The gharial is critically endangered as its current population trend is decreasing. They have an average lifespan of 40 to 60 years in the wild.

Crocodilians are an ancient group of reptiles that include crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials. This order, Crocodilia, dates back about 200 million years, surviving past mass extinctions. Modern crocodilians are semi-aquatic predators, primarily found in tropical regions.
