The American alligator (*Alligator mississippiensis*) is a large, carnivorous reptile native to the southeastern United States. Known for its powerful jaws, sharp teeth, and armored body, the American alligator is an apex predator that plays a crucial role in its ecosystem.

This replica is created from a precise 3D scan of an authentic alligator skull, cast in durable resin, and carefully hand-painted to highlight each anatomical detail, from the ridged cranial features to the detailed tooth structure.

Ideal for herpetologists, educators, and collectors, this American alligator skull replica offers an insightful look into the anatomy and power of one of North America’s most formidable reptiles.
