The gharial is poorly equipped for locomotion on land. Its leg musculature is not suited to raise the body off the ground or to produce the "high-walk" gait. It is able only to push its body forward across the ground or "belly-slide." It is, however, very agile in the water. The tail is well-developed and laterally flattened, and the rear feet possess extensive webbing.

do gharials roll like crocodiles and alligators do?

It seems like it would be much more difficult for them the way their mouths are shaped.

No. All kinds of crocodilians catch fish by snapping their jaws around a fish with a quick throw to the side with their jaws. A gharials jaws make that way easier, though are ineffective against larger prey. Wide jaws like alligators/caimans got are best at that, while crocodiles got a good balance in between.

Makes sense.

I can only imagine the gharials jaws breaking if they try to roll something larger.

Kinda funny that you replied when you did, because I was just checking the content again to see how it was doing.

Yeah have happend to me a few times too. Their teeth are also adapted for this purpose of course. Got a better grip on the fish than other crocodilians.

no idea why people would want baby alligators as pets when these guys are around.
