Best Croc Fathers on the planet!

When it comes to parental care, reptiles often get a bad rep. But several species prove that being cold-blooded doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent. One such compassionate reptile is the gharial, a slender-snouted group of endangered crocodiles found in India and other parts of south Asia.

After a complex mating ritual involving head slaps and hisses, female gharials will deposit their eggs into burrows along the muddy riverbank. Once the mini-crocodilians emerge from their nest, they’ll scurry over to the nearest adult, male or female. Unlike other predators who snack on unrelated offspring, male gharials protect their newborn brethren no matter which nest they came from. Oftentimes this protection also includes free ferry service as young gharials often hitch a ride on an adult’s back.
