Today's Animal of the Day is the Gharial, a crocodile found in northern India. It has a distinct long, thin jaw which it uses to catch fish. It grows to an average length of 15 feet and an average weight of 400 lbs. The Gharial is the only crocodilian species with sexual dimorphism, meaning the dudes look different from the girls. Male Gharials have a knobby growth at the end of their snouts, the function of which is not well understood. Some speculate that it plays a role in breathing or sound production, but it's probably just for looking damn sexy.
