Product description and measurements
Gavialis gangeticus, commonly known as the gharial or Ganges crocodile, is a species of reptile belonging to the Gavialidae family, recognizable by its characteristic long and narrow snout. This crocodile mainly inhabits the rivers of India and Nepal and is well adapted to an aquatic environment, spending most of its life in the water. Its snout, extremely elongated and thin compared to other crocodile species, allows it to agilely catch fish, its main source of food. This snout widens slightly at the base and becomes even more tapered in adult individuals, being particularly noticeable in males, which develop a bulbous protuberance at the end, known as a "ghara", which allows them to emit low-pitched sounds to attract females and warn other males.

The gharial's body is elongated and streamlined, and its skin is covered with hard, rough, greenish-grey scales, which provide camouflage in rivers. Unlike other crocodiles, their legs are relatively short and not designed for terrestrial locomotion, which makes their mobility out of water limited. This extreme aquatic adaptation is also observed in their musculature, which is less robust for moving on land but highly effective for swimming. The gharial also has a more peaceful behavior compared to other crocodiles, being less likely to interact with humans or exhibit aggressive attitudes, probably due to its strictly piscivorous diet.

This species is of great ecological importance, as it acts as a controller of fish populations in its natural habitat. However, the gharial is critically endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and hunting. With a length that can reach up to 6 meters, the gharial is one of the largest crocodile species in the world, although its population has decreased dramatically in recent decades, which has motivated conservation efforts for its preservation and recovery in its natural habitat.

Information about aftershocks

Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.

Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)

We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.

Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.

Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.

Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.

Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.

All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.

Information about the models

The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.

Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.

Handmade

All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.

We are authorized distributors

We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
