Wow...simply stunning! V

Wonderful photo. I had to read the Wikipedia article to see if it would explain the evolutionary rationale for that skinny snout. The article did not disappoint. These guys are fish catchers and the thin snout has low resistance in the water. The snout is only for catching fish, not chewing them. The fish are swallowed whole. Cool!

This is very cool! A great composition that shines in black & white.

Interesting sight. Don't think I've ever seen a gharial before. V.

Great shot - perfect in B&W ! I wouldn't have thought that'd be the most comfy pillow :) V

They look so contented!

The long nose is really cool. Love those teeth. The detail is great in monochrome. V

Awwww, have to say, that is one cute pose and a fantastic capture. It works very well in mono. VV

they look almost innocent until one notes all those teeth...smart idea to convert to B&W, thereby underscoring their very ancient appearance..

I think I'd lay perfectly still if that toothy critter laid his head on me too! LOL What a fascinating photo. V

Wow! This is stunning, as is that long nose! VVV~

That is an interesting snout(?). I have never seen or heard of a Gharial.
