The gharials have been added to the collection at Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Botanical Udyan and Zoo also known as the Byculla Zoo, officials said

The zoo is home to India’s first glass exhibit for crocodiles and alligators

These enclosures allow visitors and nature enthusiasts to observe the reptiles’ underwater movements through clear glass panels. The feature has proven to be a major attraction

The Zoo officials said that the gharials were recently brought from Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park in Ranchi under an animal exchange programme

The newly arrived gharials are between six and eight years old
