American gharial

The American gharial (Gavialis missouriensis), also known as the American gavial or the American fish-eating crocodile, is a crocodilian in the family Gavialidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the swamps and marshlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American gharial is not as large as its Asian cousin, the critically endangered Asian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), only growing to be about 1.5–2.1 metres (5–7 feet) and weight of 36–45 kilograms (80–100 lb) as an adult. However, like Asian gharials, the American gharials have a distinct boss at the end of the snout, which resembles an earthenware pot known as a ghara, hence the name "gharial". the American gharial is well adapted to catching fish because of its long, thin snout and 110 sharp, interlocking teeth. The American gharial, along with its Asian relatives, is one of the most thoroughly aquatic crocodilian, and leaves the water only for basking and building nests on moist riverbanks. Adults mate at the end of Winter. Females congregate in spring to dig nests, in which they lay 50–115 eggs. They guard the nests and the young that hatch before the onset of the monsoon. The hatchlings stay and forage in shallow water during their first year, but move to sites with deeper water as they grow. The conservation status of the American gharial is Least Concern, like the American alligators and unlike Chinese alligators or Asian gharials, due to successful conservation efforts, the American gharial's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
