Gharial hatchlings seen in natural habitats after years in Odisha
The Hindu
A fishing ban over a 10 km stretch of the Mahanadi river made their habitat inviolate.
The sight of an adult Gharial, a common crocodile species, surrounded by 28 hatchlings at the Satkosia gorge in the Mahanadi river, the southernmost limit of the gharials’ home range in India, has brought a smile to the faces of Odisha’s Forest Department officials. For long, the State Forest Department has been trying to increase the population of gharials in their natural habitat in Odisha. However, years of efforts never yielded the desired result. Now, after almost 15 years, gharials mated in the Satkosia gorge and hatchlings were seen surrounding an adult gharial.
