Gharial
(Gavialis gangeticus)

Found in parts of India and Nepal, the Gharial is neither a Crocodile nor an Alligator, instead it's one of their strange cousins! Its name comes from the word 'ghara', a traditional Indian pot that the end of its snout resembles. This "bulb" is only found on male Gharials and can be used to make a hissing sound that can be heard 75 meters away!

​

Its snout is also especially equipped to hunt fish because its length and width reduces drag when snapping (unlike its cousins) and 110 sharp, interlocking teeth surely helps too! ​​​
