About 42 species of reptiles have been reported from the Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India.
These include the endangered gharial and the rare Assam roofed turtle.
[1] Two of the largest snakes in the world - the reticulated python and the rock python, as well as the longest venomous snake in the world - the king cobra are common inside the park.
The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) (Hindi: घऱियाल, Marathi: सुसर Susar) also called Indian gavial or gavial, is the only surviving member of the once well-represented family Gavialidae, a long-established group of crocodilians with long, slender snouts.
The gharial is listed as a critically endangered species by the IUCN.
