After almost 15 years, gharials mated in the Satkosia gorge and hatchlings were seen surrounding an adult gharial.
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.
