Gharials!

Here's the gharials we watched at the zoo! I forgot I took a picture of them. Our zoo used only to have a pair of them, but since they opened the new herpetarium, they've gotten two more females from the San Diego Zoo. That's a soft-shell turtle underneath the male gharial. We watched them too and timed how long they could go before coming up for another breath of air: approximately 30 minutes. They'd go up, stick their noses above the water, then go back to the bottom and rebury themselves in the sand.
