They are often used to bang down or tap on a surface, such as a table or podium, to signal to others to pay attention, to emphasize a point, or to bring the proceedings to order.
A gavial is a large aquatic reptile, often referred to as the "fish-eating crocodile". It belongs to the family Gavialidae and is characterized by its long, narrow snout and small teeth.

They are carnivorous, feeding mainly on fish, but also on other aquatic animals such as crustaceans and small mammals. Gavials are considered an endangered species due to habitat loss, pollution, and hunting.
