Alligator or Short muzzle crocodile is one of the distinguished creatures of the wild life in Chabahar region. Known as Gando to the locals who have many legends and myths about this creature and consider it holy to some extent, it lives in the Bahoukalat zone in two rivers of Sarbaz and Kaju. Gando measures between 2.5 and 3 meters in length. Presently, about 15 to 20 of the species exist in the lake and nowhere else in the world. This species belongs to the Mesozoic's period (225-265 million years ago) and has changed a little during the past 65 million years.

This type has a flat snout with 19 teeth on superior maxilla, and 15 on the inferior. On the back of the head and the neck, there are two pairs of corneous bony plates. The type has short legs with five toes and long toenails at the end of front legs and four layered toes with shorter toenails on the back legs. Its body color is olive to brown and the stomach white to yellow. It usually hunts at night and feeds on the fish, birds and mammals around the water. When it comes to humans, it's usually shy, but you can't really count on that !

"If you're going to live by the river, make friends with the crocodile".
