I am interested in this reptile and also saw that it was in the C class articles.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is very basic just stating what the animal is and where its habitat is located. I guess its as leading as it can be without divulging into the topics of other sections I just feel like maybe more can be added to have it be a bit more engaging like stating some other basic and relevant facts. This section of the article is concise but could use a few more facts like previously stated just nothing that would make it overly detailed. In terms of contact I do feel like it is missing a couple of things. It is rich in its taxonomy and characteristics portion but the first bump in the road is the habitat and distribution section. What could be added to this section is more information about the areas they live in like including relevant areas they occupy and temperature of the areas they inhabit. In the reproduction portion of the article I would include the type of vegetation they use as a nest, The fact that sex at birth its assigned by temperature and the months they are active during mating season. They state that these months aren't known but I have been able to locate some resources where that too is listed. Overall, the other sections of the article also lack thorough information. it is very surface level and idk that human conflict with these animals should be its own section. Most if not all resources are from the early 2010's late 2000's meaning that this article would really benefit from a bit of a revamp in terms of updating prior information as well as adding new information that might've been brought up since that time. the "threats" portion seems specifically lacking considering everything at play with ecological disruption. the writing quality was sufficient nothing bad or any grammatical errors. This article could benefit from one or two more images maybe of the gharial in the water or with its pray, even how the eggs in the nest look. The talk page is mostly about the taxonomy of the animal and then an argument as to why this one image was removed. overall the article was clear and to the point but lacks a lot of nuances and extra information that it would greatly benefit from.
