Endangered Animals In Capivity

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Image was converted to black and white) The critically endangered Chinese alligator differs from its American counterpart in subtle ways. It's smaller usually measures up to 1.5m, the head is more robust and its snout is slightly upturned. The eyelids of the Chinese alligator have a bony plate that is missing in the American alligator. The American alligator also lacks the bony belly plates, or osteoderms, of the Chinese alligator. This species is critically endangered. On August 5, 2021 in Singapore River Safari.
