Has anyone seen one of these? I thought this crocodile looks very close to the lochness monster and gars. It's called a gharial crocodile.

I saw a special on animal planet on these, apparently they're critically endangered, and were dying off from some mysterious disease....

they used to have some adult specimens at the Bronx Zoo, but they're not there anymore. they are my personal favorite crocodilian.

I had a chance to hold one at the St.Augustine Alligator farm when I went to exchange the baby gators for the museum I worked at. They are super cool and quite easy to handle (much more so than Caimans and such). Very cool animals, I hope I can really work with them someday.
