However, Maori do have words for other reptiles and amphibians, such as:
* Ngārara - a general term for reptile
* Tuatara - a unique reptile endemic to New Zealand
* Pepe - a general term for frog
It's important to note that Maori language is constantly evolving, and new words are sometimes coined for new concepts. If you were to describe an alligator to a Maori speaker, they might use a combination of existing words or create a new term based on the animal's characteristics.
