Consciousness of duty takes on a completely different meaning as soon as you see this crocodile swimming with its children. The gharial, a crocodile-like, waits patiently for a hundred or so young to climb on its back so that they can safely cross a river in northern India.
Gharials can grow up to 4.5 meters long and weigh more than 900 kilograms. And while other crocodilians often carry their young in their large mouths, this is more difficult with the gharial. "The unusual morphology of a gharial's snout doesn't allow that," says Patrick Campbell of the Natural History Museum in London. "That's why the young have to cling to the head and back of their parents."
It already resulted in an impressive photo. To do this, however, Dhritiman Mukherjee, the photographer, had to wander for weeks in the National Chambal Gharial Wildlife Sanctuary in India. He was rewarded for his perseverance because his photo was nominated as a contender for the 'Wildlife Photograper of the Year' competition. Beautiful right.
In this Happy Hour we will of course have nice music and we will call someone who is recovering from a broken ankle and someone who has had a birthday. Around 5:30 pm we have Erik's Tip: [YOUTUBE VIDEO bUQGw-a3D_Y]
Have fun listening!
