It looks like a [[crocodile]] with a very thin and long snout, like that of the [[gharial]]. That is where the name of the species is from. It has long been classed in the family ''Crocodylidae''. However, recent [[immunology|immunological]] studies show it is more closely related to the [[gharial]] than was originally thought. So now classed in the family ''Gavialidae'', after all.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/29/3/831|title=Molecular Systematics of the Order Crocodilia}}</ref> The animal is native to six river systems in [[Sumatra]] and [[Malaysia]]. It can also be found in [[Borneo]], [[Java]], [[Vietnam]], [[Thailand]] (not seen since 1970), and possibly [[Sulawesi]]. Fossils finds in southern [[China]] indicate that, at some point in the past, the species occurred there. The false gharial, like all other crocodilians, lays eggs. It is a mound nester. Females usually mature at 2–3&nbsp;m. Mated females will lay a clutch of 30-60 eggs in a mound of dry leaves or peat. Once the eggs are laid, and construction of the mound is completed, she abandons her nest. Unlike most other crocodilian species, the young receive no parental care and are at risk of being eaten by predators like [[wild boar]], mongooses, big cats such as tigers and leopards, civets, and wild dogs.
