It has come to the attention of biologists that the false gharial's diet is much more varied than they had originally thought.

Other breeding achievements include hornbills and the freshwater crocodile- False Gharial.

The False Gharial is generally shy and passive, but on rare occasions fatal attacks have been confirmed in Central Kalimantan and Sumatra.

There are two species of riverine crocodiles in the park; the False Gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii), and an estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porousus).

There are only two surviving species, the Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) and the False Gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii), which are each the sole living representatives of the two Gavialidae genera.

False gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii)

Although many extinct species are known, only the gharial Gavialis gangeticus and possibly the False gharial Tomistoma schlegelii are alive today.
