Etymology
Noun
gavial (plural gavials)
The crocodilian Gavialis gangeticus; any species of the family Gavialidae.
Usage notes
Technically, extending the definition to family Gavialidae results in including just one other extant species: the false gavial (Tomistoma schlegelii). However, the subfamily Tomistominae is often (perhaps usually) excluded from Gavialidae.
Synonyms
• (Gavialis gangeticus): fish-eating crocodile, gharial, Indian gharial
• (any species of Gavialidae): gavialid
