The alligator is made up of two living species, the American alligator and the Chinese alligator. The history of the alligator dates back a long time. Its relatives first arose in the late Cretaceous period, which is known as the golden era of the dinosaur! Besides being raised commercially for their meat and skin, they provide a large benefit for the ecotourism industry. Tourists can take swamp tours, also known as swamp safaris, of which the main feature is alligators. In America, they're also used to control the population of small pests, including muskrats. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. All alligators and crocodiles are predominantly dark green and brown, this model included, because it allows them to camouflage amidst the murky waters which they inhabit. 6 inches long and 3.25 inches wide, both dimensions of this model are about an inch larger than soda can on its side.
