Crocogator (SciiFii)

The crocogator (Crocodylogator amphibius) is a species of crocodilian belonging to the alligator family Alligatoridae, most closely related to the genus Alligator of North America and Asia, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests and wetlands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The crocogator is a rather large species of crocodilian, reaching about 1.5–2.1 metres (5–7 feet) in length and weighing 36–45 kilograms (80–100 lb) as an adult. As its name suggests, the crocogator resembles a hybrid between a crocodile and an alligator, with a broad snout like an alligator and lower jaw teeth that sticks out like a crocodile, and it has a typical body plan and armor typical of alligatorids. The crocogator's diet consists mainly of fish, frogs, other reptiles, birds, mammals, and carrion, and will occasionally eat plants as well, although this behaviour is uncommon. The crocogator is largely amphibious like most crocodilians. The crocogator is a solitary animal throughout its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the crocogator is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the crocogator's wide range.
