Alligator

One of the largest reptiles on planet Earth, the alligator is made up of two distinct species, the American and the Chinese alligator. Alligators date back nearly 36 million years, and their relatives first arose during the golden era of the dinosaurs! Not only are alligators one of the biggest known reptiles, they also have one of the strongest bites, and can chomp down with a force of over 2000 pounds per square inch! Discover more amazing facts about this specialized and impressive creature with our beautifully hand painted and realistically crafted figurine. All alligators are predominantly dark green and brown, this model included, because it allows them to camouflage amidst the murky waters they inhabit. 6 inches long and 3.5 inches wide, both dimensions of this figurine are about an inch larger than soda can on its side. Believe it or not, alligators actually have a fairly important economical role in the regions they’re endemic too. Besides being raised commercially for their meat and skin, they’re a large part of the ecotourism industry, especially in the southern United States. Tourists can take swamp tours, also known as swamp safaris, specifically designed to show off these amazing predators. Despite its large size and strong bite, we promise this alligator is rather amicable!
