A significant breeding achievement has occurred, with multiple young gharials emerging. The total number of juvenile gharials has increased to 13, following the recent hatchings. Breeding and incubation techniques were refined over years by staff. Adjustments to egg incubation temperature and the addition of heated nesting logs were made.

The hatchlings are part of a critically endangered species. Two female gharials produced clutches that yielded the young.

Further information about this achievement is available, including details about the timing of the hatchings and the institution's experience with gharial breeding.
