Episode 318: Almost Gone, the Gharials

Episode 318: Almost Gone, the Gharials

Out of Asia comes one of the world's largest species of crocodilian, the Gharial! With its unique slender rostrum (snout), the Gharial is an ancient reptile that is just barely hanging on. This critically endangered animal was reduced to just over 180 animals left in the wild! However, conservation agencies and zoos around the world are fighting hard to save the Gharial! Reintroduction efforts are continuing throughout India and Nepal to reestablish healthy Gharial populations. These are true survivors and are some amazing reptiles. For sure a not to miss podcast!
