Gavialis gangeticus
At present there are an estimated 200 breeding adult gharial left in the wild. There are three places in India where a total of 88 nests were recorded and one location in Nepal where 6 nests were recorded in 2006. It is extinct in Pakistan, Bhutan, Myanmar and probably Bangladesh. The gharial is now, unenviably, the most endangered large animal on the Subcontinent.
