The gharial has undergone a chronic long-term decline, combined with a rapid short-term decline, leading the IUCN to list the species as critically endangered.
Other species which have sometimes attacked humans are the black caiman, the Morelet's crocodile, the mugger crocodile,the American crocodile, the gharial, and the freshwater crocodile.[118].
The male gharial has a long narrow snout with a boss at the tip.
They are largely carnivorous, the various species feeding on animals such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs, birds, and mammals;some species like the Indian gharial are specialised feeders, while others like the saltwater crocodile have generalised diets.
Family Gavialidae Genus Gavialis Gharial(Gavialis gangeticus) Genus Tomistoma False gharial(Tomistoma schlegelii).
The gharial(Gavialis gangeticus), also known as the gavial or the fish-eating crocodile, is a crocodilian in the family Gavialidae and among the longest of all living crocodilians.
Species with sharp teeth and long slender snouts, like the Indian gharial and Australian freshwater crocodile, are specialised for feeding on fish, insects, and crustaceans, while extremely broad-snouted species with blunt teeth, like the Chinese alligator and broad-snouted caiman, specialise in eating hard-shelled molluscs.
In 1946, the gharial population had been widespread, numbering around 5,000 to 10,000; by 2006, however, it had declined 96- 98%, reduced to a small number of widely spaced subpopulations of fewer than 235 individuals.
The gharial complies at first and attempts to lure the monkey to his home, but soon comes clean about the plan. Their friendship ends after that.[141] Similar stories exist in Native American legends, and in the African American folktale of an alligator and Br'er Rabbit.[142].
The gharial is the most thoroughly aquatic crocodilian.[1] It leaves the water only for basking on riverbanks.[70] Being cold-blooded, it seeks to cool down during hot times and to warm up when ambient temperature is cool.[71] Gharials bask daily in the cold season, foremost in the mornings, and prefer sandy and moist beaches.
