Chinanews, Hefei, Apr. 20 – Experts said on Wednesday that currently there are less than 150 wild Chinese alligators2.

 

The Chinese alligator1 is listed as a CITES Appendix I species and as animal under first-class protection in China, stern restrictions3 being imposed on its trade and exportation throughout the world. It had lived in this world for 230 million years, and is also regarded as “living fossils” like the giant pandas, living only in the alligator nature reserve (in Anhui Province) that covers an area of 43,330 sq.km.

 

Wild Chinese alligators have many difficulties fighting for survival. In 2005 experts from home and abroad made a survey on wild alligators, which found that only 1%-3% of alligator cubs4 had survived and grown up.
