Default gharials

i was just wondering whether they are DWA?

is DWA just about bieng deadly to humans, so if gharials are specially designed for killing fish, they can't be that much of a threat to humans?

thanks!

All crocodilians are DWA.

yeah all ccorodillians are dwa, also they are critically endangerd so doubt you would never be able to obtain one. as martin said they range from 16-21 feet adults and have a very fast strike in water so would,nt wana get bit by one

I have heard of a few CB ones knocking about.

WC ones being sold would be discusting because they are already seriously strugling.
