WILDLIFE SERIES: GHARIAL

The cover images in volume 213 of the journal all feature mouths and teeth from different members of the animal kingdom. The cover of this issue depicts a crocodilian native to the Indian subcontinent, the gharial. Gharials' jaws are lined with many interlocking, razor-sharp teeth — 27 to 29 upper and 25 or 26 lower teeth on each side. The front teeth are the largest. Gharials are listed as 'critically endangered' in the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species.
