Gharial, a long and slender-snouted crocodile, resembling a warm-blooded reptile, has been spotted again in Pakistan. Gharials were widespread in the rivers of Sindh and its associated tributaries in the past, but their population started declining in the 1970s. The gharial’s physical resemblance to a warm-blooded reptile, with its long and slender snout, was observed near the Sutlej River, as a local individual captured a video clearly showing it. Prior to this, a gharial was seen in a river location in Punjab after a hiatus of 30 years. According to wildlife experts, raising awareness among local people is crucial for the protection of this rare and largely disappearing creature, as seeing a gharial again in a short period is very encouraging. According to a WWF spokesman, the gharial belongs to the crocodile family, playing an important role in balancing the river’s ecosystem. At one time, gharials were found on a large scale in the rivers of Sindh and its associated tributaries in Pakistan, but their population started declining in the mid-1970s. The reasons for the decline of the gharial include relentless illegal hunting, as well as a shortage of fish for their diet, among other factors.
