The Dwarf Crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis), the smallest member of the crocodile family, is native to the freshwater habitats of West and Central Africa. Typically found in slow-moving rivers, swamps, and forests, the Dwarf Crocodile is well-adapted to a nocturnal and aquatic lifestyle, using its stout, powerful jaws to feed on fish, crustaceans, and small mammals. Its skull is robust, with short but strong teeth ideal for crushing prey, and its small stature allows it to navigate densely vegetated environments.

This Dwarf Crocodile skull replica is created using a precise 3D scan of a real specimen, ensuring an accurate representation of its unique cranial structure. Made from durable resin and hand-painted for realism, the replica preserves the textures and features of the Dwarf Crocodile’s skull, from its blunt snout to the detailed placement of teeth.

Ideal for herpetologists, educators, and collectors, this Dwarf Crocodile skull replica provides valuable insights into crocodilian anatomy and evolutionary adaptations. It is an excellent educational resource for biology and zoology classrooms and an eye-catching display piece for anyone interested in reptiles and wildlife conservation.
