A giant crocodile is a large reptile that lives in water and is known for its size and strength. In the video's theme, the giant crocodile named Bhaiyya represents a powerful and feared ruler of the river, embodying the concept of dominance and fear in the animal kingdom. The script describes Bhaiyya as a skilled hunter, which is why all the animals in the forest are afraid of him.

💡Territory

Territory refers to an area that an animal claims as its own and defends against intruders. In the video, the concept of territory is central to the conflict between Bhaiyya and Sura. Bhaiyya is protective of his river territory, while Sura, the shark, initially respects but later infringes upon this boundary, leading to a fierce conflict.

💡Hunting

Hunting in this context refers to the act of searching for and catching prey for food. Both Bhaiyya and Sura are depicted as skilled hunters in the video.

Bhaiyya and Sura initially reach an agreement to limit their hunting areas, with the end of the river serving as the boundary. However, the agreement is later broken by Sura, which escalates the conflict between them.

Surabaya is the name given to the area where the two animals fought. It is mentioned at the end of the video as a way to commemorate the fierce battle between Bhaiyya and Sura. The name Surabaya is derived from the names of the two characters, symbolizing the lasting impact of their conflict.

💡Sea

The sea represents Sura's natural habitat and the place he returns to after the initial conflict with Bhaiyya.
