The Chinese alligator, or Alligator sinensis, is a species of crocodilian in the family Alligatoridae, found only in China. Chinese alligators are smaller than their American counterparts, with adults typically reaching a length of 1.5 to 2.1 meters and weighing around 36 to 45 kg. They have a broad, rounded snout and a body covered in bony plates. Their coloration is typically grey or black with yellowish-white underbelly.

In terms of behavior, Chinese alligators are semi-aquatic, spending much of their time in water but also venturing onto land to bask in the sun or nest. They are opportunistic feeders, preying on a variety of animals including fish, birds, and small mammals.

The Chinese alligator is classified by the IUCN as “Critically Endangered”. The species has suffered significant population declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and pollution. Efforts are currently underway to protect and conserve remaining populations through captive breeding programs and habitat restoration.
