 Digimorph - Gavialis gangeticus (Indian gharial)
The extremely long snout seen in Gavialis reflects a condition called "longirostry" that is thought to have arisen multiple times independently among crocodylians and their closest relatives.
The current restriction of Gavialis to freshwater environments may be a fairly recent phenomenon, as the group is thought to have crossed major marine barriers several times, including a crossing of the Atlantic from the Old World to South America sometime during the Tertiary.
Gavialis is at the center of an evolutionary puzzle.

 Gharial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is one of two surviving members of the family Gavialidae, a long-established group of crocodile-like reptiles with long, narrow jaws.
The gharial (sometimes Indian gharial, or gavial) is the second-largest of all surviving crocodilians: a large individual can be 6-7 metres long.

When morphology was analyzed alone, Gavialis was the sister taxon of all other extant crocodylians whether or not fossil ingroup taxa were included, and a sister-group relationship between Gavialis and Tomistoma was significantly less parsimonious.
In combination with published sequence and restriction site fragment data, Gavialis was the sister taxon of all other living crocodylians, but the position of Tomistoma depended on the inclusion of fossil ingroup taxa; with or without fossils, preferred morphological and molecular topologies were not significantly different.
Fossils closer to Gavialis than to Tomistoma can be recognized in the Late Cretaceous, and fossil relatives of Tomistoma are known from the basal Eocene, strongly indicating a divergence long before the Late Tertiary.

Gavialis gangeticus, also known as the 'true' or 'Indian' gavial.
Despite its large size (upto 6 meters in length) it is harmless to man. The elongate snout has 27-29 teeth on each side, and a long narrow snout that widens at the nostrils.

Gavialis gangeticus is known by two names, the Indian Gavial and the Indian Gharial.
Both are correct, the only difference is that the name Gharial is named after the strange bulbous protruberance that mature males get, called gharas.

The Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) was excluded from this study.
Based on morphology, Gavialis is the basalmost living crocodylian with a Late Cretaceous divergence for its lineage (Norell, 1989; Salisbury and Willis, 1996; Poe, 1996; Brochu, 1997; Hua and Jouve, in press).
Molecular data instead support a close relationship and Cenozoic divergence between Gavialis and Tomistoma (Densmore, 1983; Densmore and Owen, 1989; Densmore and White, 1991; Hass et al., 1992; White and Densmore, 2001; Gatesy et al., 2003; Harshman et al., 2003).

 Systematic Biology 45(4) Abstracts
Abstract.--- Published sets of systematic data on crocodilians (18S and 28S nuclear ribosomal DNA [rDNA] restriction fragments, mitochondrial rDNA restriction fragments, 12S mitochondrial rDNA sequences, osteology, external morphology, dentition, nest type, albumin, parasites) were used to test hypotheses of data set incongruence and phylogeny.
Comparing incongruence indices between molecular versus molecular data set comparisons and molecular versus morphological data set comparisons showed the morphological;shmolecular comparisons to be significantly more incongruent, and experiments removing taxa suggested that morphological incongruence can be localized to the separation of Gavialis from Tomistoma.
Significance tests of incongruence between the five larger crocodilian data sets relative to each other and to combined data sets supported these hypotheses and demonstrated that only 1 (12S sequences vs. morphology) of the 10 pairwise comparisons of data sets show significant incongruence.
