An angled-down image of a crocodilian in reddish-brown water. The gharial is partially submerged, only the head is above water. The body and limbs look much like other crocodilians, but the gharial's head is much different - the snout is very long and slender.
It's #WorldCrocDay? <rummages around in folders> How about the rare and protected Sunda Islands Gharial (Tomistoma schlegeli) from sw Borneo? Shot in situ from the deck of a little boat on the Sekonyer River. #herps #crocodilians #NaturePhotography 🌿
It’s #worldcrocday so here’s my ridiculously long thread on ceiling crocodiles I moved over from twitter and how learning about them explains the origins of dragons and how they became the symbol of Satan
