Crocodile
From Indiana Jones Wiki
A crocodile is a type of large amphibious reptile, related to the alligator. Crocodiles live in rivers and swamps in Africa and Asia, nesting on land, but often hunting and resting in water. Large crocodiles are able to catch and kill livestock and humans with their powerful jaws and shorts bursts of speed.
Indiana Jones saw a crocodile in the Ogooué River, while traveling upriver from Port-Gentil aboard the Collette in 1917.
Crocodiles lurked in the murky river outside of Pankot Palace, and often fed grisly meals from the Thuggee cultists. When Jones, Short Round, and Willie Scott helped put a stop to the Thuggee activities in 1935, several of the Thuggee guards, as well as their leader Mola Ram met their demise in the mouths of the crocodiles.
