Very cool to see this guy eat. I saw him this summer when I was at the national zoo but he was just floating.

I still remember the first time my son and I saw a gharial (at the Bronx Zoo).

We both gasped. Then we tried to figure out how it could possibly eat with such a long, thin jaw.

Thanks for showing exactly how that jaw works!

@ZooVisitorMM To give a a more clear answer.....Their snout is used underwater to easily catch fish due to its flexibility and length.

@fabianlaraginsubtion Evolution is an amazing process. And the variety of body shapes, sizes, and other physical adaptations that serve their purposes so well is fascinating.
