A rare sight from the Gandak River, Bihar. 🐊✨
31 newly hatched gharials exploring the river under the watchful eye of their father. Male gharials are known to guard and protect hatchlings during their early days, making moments like these truly special.
Every hatchling is a small victory for conservation and a hopeful step for the future of this critically endangered species.
📍 Gandak River, near Valmiki Tiger Reserve, Bihar, India
