Sunda gharial crocodile

Crocodiles are true survivors, with a natural history that can be traced back over 200 million years. Despite their connection to the prehistoric past, they are more advanced than any other living reptile, relying on learning rather than instinct, which makes them one of the most efficient and successful predators in the world today.

Crocodylia (which includes crocodiles, caimans, alligators, and gharials) are amphibious reptiles, spending much of their time in water around rivers, lakes, and swamps in tropical areas.

This mysterious type of crocodile is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia and can be found in remote swamps and rivers, as well as hiding in the shadows on the edge of the forest. They resemble a crocodile, but they have a very distinctive long, narrow snout and around 80 needle-like teeth, which are ideal for catching fish, frogs, monkeys, and even deer.
