Kaiyodo ChocoQ Chinese alligator hachtling: A walkaround by Kikimalou

Endemic to eastern China, the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is one of two known living species of Alligator.
Unlike the American alligator, the Chinese alligator is fully armored, even its belly.
Its habitat was in places of low-elevation and freshwater sources. The Chinese alligator remains dormant during the winter, residing in burrows built into banks of wetlands. Once the spring comes the burrows are still used, just not as much. The alligators spend most of their time raising their body temperature in the sun. Once their body heat is high enough they become nocturnal.

Classed as an Endangered species in real life, this species is nearly unknown in the toy world. It is so a great pleasure to welcome this Kaiyodo Chinese alligator hachtling from the ChocoQ Amazing animals set .  

Very beautiful model Christophe :)

A little beauty:) and what brand is the adult?

Thank you Florian and Andreas

The adult is a Papo Crocodile baby

That's very cute alligator baby. Thank you for sharing Christophe!

Congrats and thanks.

What an interesting, cute, and beautyful little monster

Thankyou for this wonderful walkaround, Christophe

That hatchling hatching is formidable! It even has the yellowish bands we can find in juvenile Chinese alligators. If the egg was not so clean I'd think it was a real one.
I love figures of hatching animals, I have the Safari croc hatching in my collection. It was probably a good idea to Safari Incredible creatures to make also a hatching of this species in lifesize scale once they're only 20 cm long. Thanks for walk around, I loved to know it.

Thank you Anna, Laura, Susanne and Rogério

Rogério, this kind of model wasn't in my collection range only one years ago. And now I enjoy having such thing on my shelf, so differnt and interresting than "one more excellent Nile crocodile"
