Indian Gavial

Indian Gavial
The Indian gavial, found only in the Brahmaputra, Ganges, and Mahamadi rivers of India and the Koladon River of southeastern Asia, is differentiated from all other species of crocodilians by its long, narrow snout and weak legs. Growing to a size of 7 m (23 ft), the gavial feeds primarily on fish.
