The Fort Worth Zoo is celebrating a major milestone in its conservation efforts as on Wednesday, the zoo announced the birth of two gharial crocodiles.The gharial is a type of river crocodile from India with a long, thin snout. They’re also one of the largest crocodile species in the world, growing to about 16 feet long and 1,500 pounds.”The Fort Worth Zoo has been working hard to have baby offspring gharial. This is our second year in a row, which is a huge feat. Having the ones that we had hatch last year was significant in the first place. We had multiple babies at that time, and then now we had it two years back-to-back. So, yah!” said Vicky Poole, the Fort Worth Zoo’s associate curator of ectotherms.
