The American alligator, sometimes referred to colloquially as a gator or common alligator, is a large crocodilian reptile endemic to the Southeastern United States (* mostly Florida & Louisiana).
There are two different species of alligator, the American alligator and the Chinese alligator - this is the Made in American One!
The scientific name for the American Alligator is Alligator Mississippienis
The average lifespan is 30-50 years... yes person years
The average adult male can grow to weigh over 450 kg (1000 lb)
The average male alligator ranges from 10-15 feet approximately when full grown and females grow to about 8.5 feet
Often confused with crocodiles, alligators can easily be distinguished from crocodiles by the shape of their snout. While alligators have broad u-shaped snouts, crocodiles’ snouts are v-shaped.
Like other reptiles, alligators are cold-blooded
American alligators have been observed using lures to hunt birds. They balance sticks and branches on their heads, attracting birds looking for nesting material
Alligators have a powerful bite but the muscles that open the jaw are relatively weak. An adult human could hold the jaws of an alligator shut with their bare hands.
Alligator lay eggs when they hatch new babies - they become male or female depending on the temperature, male in warmer temperatures and female in cooler temperatures / an alligator can lay over 50 eggs in a single season
Alligators eat a range of different animals such as fish, birds, turtles and even deer.

The scientific name of the Dusky is Carcharhinus Obscurus
The dusky shark is a species of requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, occurring in tropical and warm-temperate continental seas worldwide.
At full size they can weight up to 420 lbs
Dusky sharks are one of the slowest-growing and latest-maturing sharks, not reaching adulthood until around 20 years of age.
The range of the dusky shark extends worldwide - although they prefer tropical and warm-temperate waters. It is typically found from inshore waters out to the edge of the continental shelf.
One of the largest members of its genus, the dusky shark commonly reaches a length of 3.2 m (10 ft) and a weight of 160–180 kg (350–400 lb) - the maximum recorded length and weight are 4.2 m (14 ft) and 347 kg (765 lb) respectively.
Females grow larger than males.
This shark has a slender, streamlined body with a broadly rounded snout no longer than the width of the mouth.
The mouth has very short, subtle furrows at the corners and contains 13-15 (typically 14) tooth rows on either side of both jaws.
The upper teeth are distinctively broad, triangular, and slightly oblique with strong, coarse serrations, while the lower teeth are narrower and upright, with finer serrations
The Dusky's average swimming speed is 0.8 km/h (0.50 mph)
A large Dusky can consume over a tenth of its body weight at a single feeding session.
The bite force exerted by a 2 m (6.6 ft) long dusky shark has been measured at 60 kg (130 lb) at the tip of a tooth.
The female Dusky litter size ranges from 3 to 16, with 6 to 12 being typical litter and newborn dusky sharks measure 0.7–1.0 m (2.3–3.3 ft) long.
The Dusky shark is considered to be potentially dangerous to humans because of its large size, though little is known of how it behaves towards people underwater.
The dusky shark is one of the most sought-after species for shark fin trade, as its fins are large and contain a high number of internal rays (ceratotrichia).
The average life span is 50 years
The shark jaws was imported from India and have been cleaned but NOT whitened so will have patches of dark discoloration
The U.S Fish and Wildlife Department and U.S Customs have cleared these for legal entry into the U.S. They were obtained from the India fishing industry and are not protected or endangered.
