Pronunciation: [t͡ʃa͡ɪnˈiːz ˈalɪɡˌe͡ɪtə] (IPA) 
The Chinese Alligator, also known as the Chinese small-headed crocodile, is a unique reptilian species that is native to China. This endangered species is characterized by its small size and blunt snout. Other synonyms for the Chinese Alligator include the Yangtze Alligator, Dwarf Alligator and Alligator sinensis. Due to their small size, the Chinese Alligator is often compared to their larger American counterparts, the American Alligator and Crocodile. However, these species are quite distinct in terms of habitat, behavior, and physical characteristics. As a result of habitat loss and hunting, the Chinese Alligator population has declined drastically, making conservation efforts to preserve this fascinating species all the more critical.
