gavialis pachyrhynchus

Description:

8-11 meters of pure elegance and superiority. gavialis pachyrhynchus was a massive gharial species that lived in the early Miocene. this massive predator in my depiction is resting, with its gular glands open. and anatomical depiction quite underrepresented in crocodilian paleoart. something about the gharial body plan just screams elegance to me. looking at this creature gives me a sense of inferiority. its like looking at an eagle who will always give you that serious, down to earth stare. gharial are the same way and just imagine what it would be like to stare into the eyes of a 11 meter long behemoth!
