“Gharials have between 106 and 110 interlocking, razor—sharp teeth, which help them catch slippery fish. Gharials are perhaps the most dedicated parents of all reptiles. Females lay eggs in lots of nests close together and guard them from the river. The females and the males then guard these creches from predators in the water and on the banks of the river.”
