25 gharials from Chitwan’s breeding centre translocated to Shuklaphanta

1,887 gharials that grew up in the centre have been released in various rivers so far. But their survival rate is very low.

As many as 25 gharials—a critically endangered species of crocodile—have been shifted to Shuklaphanta from the breeding centre in the Chitwan National Park (CNP). The translocated gharials were released in the Chaudhar river that passes through Shuklaphanta National Park (SNP) in Kanchanpur district on Saturday.
