The fish-eating crocodile, is also known as the gharial or gavial. It is a less famous member of the crocodile family whose numbers have been declining and is now an endangered species. It is easily distinguishable from the other family members because of its long, slender snout and narrow, sharp teeth.
The gharial is currently known to exist only in India and Nepal. The species is regarded as extinct in Myanmar, and thought to be extinct in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Pakistan, although there are occasional sightings, or alleged sightings in some of these locations. It is classified as critically endangered in India and Nepal. The total worldwide population in 2006 was estimated to consist of fewer than 200 animals in India and fewer than 35 in Nepal.
