A tertiary overview citing published Gambia guidebooks and heritage writing identifies the Kachikally pool as privately run, associates it with a family named in that source as long-established Bakau landholders, and notes that Kachikally is also the name of Bakau's central district. This is a tertiary characterisation of ownership and place naming, not a verified land title or genealogical record, and no lineage or ethnicity claim is drawn from the family name here.

The same source estimates roughly eighty crocodiles at the pool and notes it is popularly described as home to Nile crocodiles, although specialists identify the animals as West African crocodiles, a species only formally distinguished from the Nile crocodile in recent decades. An archive entry should keep the informal name in circulation while flagging the scientific correction. [wikipedia-kachikally-pool]
