Wow, the sun and sheen do make this gharial look otherworldish!
Wow, I have never seen anything like this before; at first I thought it was fake!!!! I just looked it up on Wikipedia, apparently it's a native of the Indian subcontinent and is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. Did you see this in a zoo?? It's really cool. : )
