Description

Gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) from ZOO Prague, Czech republic.

Gharials are extremelly endangered species of crocodile: only 200 (180 females and 20 males) of them are still alive in the nature, Indian river Chambal!
This reptile is also very rarely kept in ZOOs: only five ZOO's in the world keep gharials. And ZOO Prague is the only one in Europe! :dance: in Prague, you can see 7 very young gharials, 3 males and 4 females, in the pavillion ,,Chambal". This group means more than 30% of EVER in ZOO's kept gharials.

So you can see, that for Prague, it is very exclusive to show this wonderful reptile!
