The Chinese Alligator, native to the lower Yangtze River in eastern China, is one of the most endangered reptiles, with fewer than 200 individuals estimated to exist in the wild. Smaller and more docile than its American counterpart, the Chinese Alligator features a broad, rounded snout and armored scales covering its entire body, including its belly. As an apex predator within its ecosystem, it primarily feeds on fish, invertebrates, and small mammals.

This replica is crafted using a detailed 3D scan of an authentic Chinese Alligator skull specimen. Constructed from durable resin and meticulously hand-painted, it reproduces the unique bone structure, from the distinctively shaped snout to the precise arrangement of its teeth and jaw structure.

This Chinese Alligator skull replica is an essential addition for educators, herpetologists, conservationists, and collectors interested in the study and preservation of rare reptile species. It offers an engaging, lifelike resource for understanding the anatomy and ecological importance of this critically endangered species.
