Gharials swimming at the National Chambal Gharial Wildlife Sanctuary
The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is a crocodilian of the family Gavialidae that is native to the Indian subcontinent and also called gavial and fish-eating crocodile. As the species has undergone both chronic long term and a rapid short-term declines it is listed as a Critically Endangered by IUCN. The gharial is one of three crocodilians native to India, apart from the mugger crocodile and the saltwater crocodile. It is one of the longest of all living crocodilians. Gharials once thrived in all the major river systems of the Indian subcontinent, spanning the rivers of its northern part from the Indus River in Pakistan across the Gangetic floodplain to the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. Today, they are extinct in the Indus River, in the Brahmaputra of Bhutan and Bangladesh and in the Irrawaddy River. Their distribution is now limited to only 2% of their former range.

Within the sanctuary the pristine Chambal River cuts through mazes of ravines and hills with many sandy beaches. The sanctuary is protected under India's Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. The sanctuary is administered by the Department of Forest under the Project Officer with headquarters at Morena, Madhya Pradesh.
The Critically endangered Gharial crocodile and the Red-crowned roof turtle live here, and together with the endangered Ganges River Dolphin are the keystone species of the sanctuary. Other large threatened inhabitants of the sanctuary include Muggar crocodile, Smooth-coated Otter, Striped Hyaena and Indian Wolf.

अटेर का किला,
इसके खूनी दरवाजे से हर समय टपकता था खून
इस खून से तिलक करने के बाद ही गुप्तचर राजा से मिल पाते थे
राजाओं की शौर्यगाथाओं को बयां करता ये किला
यही तो है
यह एक मध्ययुगीन किला है।
अटेर का किला चम्बल नदी के किनारे एक ऊंचे स्थान पर स्थित है। #महाभारत में जिस देवगिरि पहाड़ी का उल्लेख आता है उसी पहाड़ी पर स्तिथ है यह किला। इसका मूल नाम 'देवगिरि दुर्ग' है।
इस किले का निर्माण #भदौरिया राजा बदनसिंह ने 1664 ई. में शुरू करवाया था।
भदौरिया राजाओं के नाम पर ही भिंड क्षेत्र को पहले ‘बधवार’ कहा जाता था
#खूनीदरवाज़ा’, ‘बदन सिंह का महल’, ‘हथियापोर’, ‘राजा का बंगला’, ‘रानी का बंगला’ और ‘बारह खंबा महल’ इस क़िले के मुख्य आकर्षण हैं। लेकिन इस महल की सबसे चर्चित चीज है खुनी दरवाजा।

Gharials lay in wait along the river banks of Chambal
The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is a crocodilian of the family Gavialidae that is native to the Indian subcontinent and also called gavial and fish-eating crocodile. As the species has undergone both chronic long term and a rapid short-term declines it is listed as a Critically Endangered by IUCN. The gharial is one of three crocodilians native to India, apart from the mugger crocodile and the saltwater crocodile. It is one of the longest of all living crocodilians. Gharials once thrived in all the major river systems of the Indian subcontinent, spanning the rivers of its northern part from the Indus River in Pakistan across the Gangetic floodplain to the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. Today, they are extinct in the Indus River, in the Brahmaputra of Bhutan and Bangladesh and in the Irrawaddy River. Their distribution is now limited to only 2% of their former range.
