Indian Gharial Feeding Time @ River Safari

[@kroakie4]

They should put some live fish in there from time to time. That would be great enrichment for those gavials. And it'd be a great show for the crowd!

[@bkjeong4302]

+kroakie4 They have live fish in there but they are too small for the gharials.

[@lavenderlemons888]

"fish eating crocodiles" but feeds them chicken...?

They snatch the occasional mammal or bird in the wild, if they’re lucky

This is one of the few things I find terrifying. Is there a name for a phobia of crocodiles, alligators, gharials, and stuff like that?

[@m.shyamganeesh7421]

herpetophobia

[@digi8541]

Thanks, but I think that's the fear of ALL reptiles. I love snakes and lizards.

[@juliannel3264]

+Bleach Crocodyliphobia. I did not make it up, serious.

+Julianne Lee Well, from what I've read that's the name- I'm unsure

[@Sylmarys24]

If there was one. it would probably be called Suchophobia.

Are these freakin dinosaurs..?...

[@juanponceman4337]

Link no they lived before the dinosaurs

[@juanponceman4337]

But they do look like sarcosuchuses

[@spinoplays6703]

No. In fact, any crocodilians are the least related species to dinos.

[@lukespence-leigh8734]

Something tells me they relate to Sarcosucus, if that's the case, then, they're the closest modern day descendants of the giant reptile

[@finnwolfhard5778]

Indeed they look like sarchosochus

[@lukespence-leigh8734]

@@finnwolfhard5778 damn right they do

[@spinoplays6703]

Only difference is that they can't take on large animals and only eat small creatures since their snout is narrow. They also have a bumpy nose.

It definitely looks like a mosasaurus. Gharial has the exact features of mosasaurus.

[@ragewarfare1148]

Nay man, they look a lot like the ancient croc sarcosuchus.

[@whyhellothere7426]

These Gharials are about to go extinct, why keep them in a tank for as long as it lives? Isnt this an example of captivity?

[@triasic4457]

Gharials are going extinct but let's put them back in their super polluted and toxic river where they used to live, nothing could go wrong right .... Seriously ? don't you think there's another reason than entertainment as to why animals are put in zoos ?

[@TheKaijuGamer_]

In the wild, yes.

[@TheKaijuGamer_]

@@triasic4457 You do know that some people are cleaning the environment, right? Also, the environment they used to live in still has wild populations, but a small population of about 250 individuals. As long as we clean up amd take care of their habitat, they'll recover. Also, certain animals don't really belong in captivity like Orcas, to get better information and research from them, we should look at wild individuals as captive individuals are different and are more used to humans than the ones in the wild.

[@MohammadAli-ht5ce]

Sarcosucus still lives. Research Dr Paul Sareno, Gobi desert, China, fossils, super croc, dinosaur eater.

Indian gharials usually as well looked like and resembles as sarcosuchus which was extinct over 133 to 112 million years ago. They were the biggest but not only the biggest. They kill and hunt on small preys. And some random lady says “This is the largest crocodile in the world!” No, salt water crocodile is the biggest, and the real extinct species is purussaurus and the main is sarcosuchus which basically the thing people only knows.

[@part-timebrock1126]

Saltys are the biggest but Gharials can grow longer.
