The saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus (family Crocodylidae), is an extremely dangerous predator of estuaries and up the major watercourses into the interior of the peninsula.
The Uw Olkola word inh oyorag refers to a big and very dangerous crocodile that doesn't come up to the surface of the water to float like other crocodiles do but stays underneath.
