Gavial

Gavial

The gavial is the only extant species of crocodile of the genus Gavialis, family Gavialidae. It can be found in the rivers of India and Nepal, and historically also inhabited the rivers of Pakistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. The species differs from the other crocodilians by the narrow and elongated snout, and by the presence of a protuberance in the adult males, characterizing a visible sexual dimorphism. Another unique feature is the exteriorization of the teeth of the anterior half of the maxilla and the mandible when the animal's mouth is closed. With records of specimens measuring up to six feet in length, it is one of the largest species within the order Crocodylia. This species is considered one of the most endangered species today. Nowadays, its population does not exceed 250 animals, and its habitat has been continuously degraded by humans, which in constant expansion, both urban and agricultural, appropriates ciliary zones, where the gaviais reproduce and spend a part of their lives. O gavial é a única espécie extante de crocodilo do gênero Gavialis, família Gavialidae. Pode ser encontrado nos rios da Índia e Nepal, e historicamente também habitava os rios do Paquistão, Butão, Bangladesh e Mianmar. A espécie difere dos demais crocodilianos pelo focinho estreito e alongado, e pela presença de uma protuberância nos machos adultos, caracterizando um dimorfismo sexual visível. Outra característica única é a exteriorização dos dentes da metade anterior da maxila e da mandíbula quando a boca do animal está fechada. Com registros de espécimes medindo até seis metros de comprimento, é uma das maiores espécies dentro da ordem Crocodylia. Essa espécie é considerada uma das mais ameaçadas de extinção atualmente. Atualmente sua população não ultrapassa 250 animais, além de seu habitat vir sendo degradado continuamente pelo humano, que em constante expansão, tanto urbana quanto na agropecuária, se apropria de zonas ciliares, onde os gaviais se reproduzem e passam uma parte de suas vidas.
