The full body mount features a wonderfully and professionally crafted taxidermy construction.

With an estimated population of 1.3 million, they inhabit all 67 counties and virtually every freshwater body in the state.

American crocodiles have narrow, V-shaped snouts, are lighter/olive-grey in color, and prefer coastal, saltwater areas. American alligators have broad, U-shaped snouts, are dark/black in color, and prefer freshwater, although both can live in both. The condition of this full body alligator is well preserved with no obvious signs of damage to the taxidermy and in well preserved overall condition. The overall measurements of this taxidermy are 98"L x 42"W x 19"H, weight is
