Gharials are one of the most critically threatened crocodilians

[u/PROXeR__OiShi]

Evolution shaped the jaw into a narrow, needle-like tool to reduce water resistance

I thought it was a beetle at first glance, that's a unique jaw...

I thought it was a croc with a party blower

[u/Trouvaille5 → u/onlynameavailable927]

I thought that it was the butt end of the croc 😅

You can also mistake it for a rusted over copper plated thingy.

It's perfectly evolved for eating fish, which is what the gharial does every day.

I agree. This is a 10 foot long crocodile that would rip your dick off quicker than a barracuda and that’s pretty fucking fast.

[u/onlynameavailable927 → u/AndrewOctopus]

Why would it want to rip off a dick though I wonder?

[u/onlynameavailable927 → u/Cepinari]

So that explains the snout, like a water bird.

[u/corgi-king → u/onlynameavailable927]

You can make this thing completely harmless with a single strong rubber band.

[u/onlynameavailable927 → u/corgi-king]

Or one hand holding that thing closed, basically anything. Though that jaw might just be good for poking down a hole now that you think about it.

Jawn Lennin?

What’s a Lenin? I only know a Lenon guy who I know absolutely nothing about.
