[kingcletusthecatfish]

Nice stoner music to go along with this awesome animal

[lewisgunner1]

looks like a crocodile but with a thinner snout

I love reptiles. The gharial is my favorite animal. The bulb on its nose identifies it as a male.

[Portugayse]

It can't possibly be a false gharial cos they are too small and brownish

-

actully it is by their jaw.

Fake ones dont have the same jaw structure.

For those who wanted to know - you can distinguish between a false gharial (which belongs to the crocodile family) and a true gharial by comparing the teeth + the body mass.

yeh babababa5555 is right it's a cool clip but gharials aren't part of the crocodile species

[Meifeng488]

yes they are

[Meifeng488]

wait sorry my mistake...i see you said species but they are of the same order just not same family or species...the gharials are their own species..... :D

[BABABABA5555]

Nice shot of a gharial. I have to be the picky jerk about the title though, gharials are no more crocodiles than alligators are, they are a seperate family.

[Meifeng488]

however they are all apart of the Crocodilia Order
