On the way to the nesting sites of the gharials at Ketrniaghat, on the Girwa river, this large specimen lay basking in the sun, soaking up warmth in its cold body. I could sense the power and weight of this ancient reptile...a leftover from the dinosaurs, a predator whose bite is the strongest in the planet, a bone crunching 5000 psi!
