Picture No. 10899577 captures one of these magnificent reptiles with its mouth wide open, showcasing rows of sharp teeth. Sadly, they can an endangered species found primarily in Pakistan, India, Burma (Myanmar), and Nepal. They face numerous threats to their survival including habitat loss and degradation due to human activities. In Karachi's sacred pool (as depicted in the chromolitho picture), efforts have been made to protect these unique creatures through a breeding and release program (Picture No. 11071415). This initiative aims to increase their population by providing a safe environment for reproduction before releasing them back into the wild. The accompanying pictures (No. 11071416, No. 11071414) showcase the dedication put into this conservation project as well as the beauty of these ancient reptiles up close. Despite being fearsome predators with powerful jaws capable of catching fish effortlessly (as seen in Picture No. 10849020), gharials need our help to ensure their survival for future generations.

These incredible creatures can be found resting on sandbanks beside water bodies like Chitwan National Park in Nepal (Picture No. 10853832), and is crucial that we protect such habitats where gharials thrive so that they can continue playing their vital role within ecosystems. Let us appreciate the beauty and uniqueness while recognizing the urgent need for conservation efforts to safeguard these endangered reptiles from extinction (Picture No. 10899575). Together, we can make a difference by raising awareness about this remarkable species and supporting initiatives that promote their protection and preservation (Gharial breeding and release program.
