The gharial Gavialis gangeticus, also known as gavial or fish-eating crocodile, is a crocodilian in the family Gavialidae and among the longest of all living crocodilians. Mature females are 2.6–4.5 m 8 ft 6 in – 14 ft 9 in long, and males 3–6 m 9 ft 10 in – 19 ft 8 in. Adult males have a distinct boss at the end of the snout, which resembles an earthenware pot known as a ghara, hence the name `gharial`. The gharial is well adapted to catching fish because of its long, thin snout and 110 sharp, interlocking teeth.
