Gharial Breeding Center

Gharial Breeding Center

The Gharial Breeding Center was built in 1978 by the National Park authorities. Initially supported by the Frankfurt Zoological Society, the center aims to breed this rare and endangered fish-eating crocodile and reintroduce it to the wild. The main method is to collect alligator eggs in the wild and to keep them in captivity. Their hatching and survival rates in the wild are less than two percent. Thus, captive breeding is more effective because it protects the eggs from predators such as mongooses and humans, who steal eggs for their perceived aphrodisiac values. The Gharial Breeding Center is located in Kasara near the park headquarters and is easily accessible by car.
