Alligator Crocodile Pewter Pin
The Alligator Crocodile Pin distinguishes between these often-confused reptiles. Alligators have wider, U-shaped snouts and hidden lower teeth when mouths close, while crocodiles sport narrower V-shaped snouts with visible lower teeth. This pin captures the features that separate these ancient lineages, which diverged over 80 million years ago.
Perfect for herpetology enthusiasts who know the differences, wildlife biologists, and anyone who's tired of people confusing American alligators with the American crocodiles found only in South Florida. This pin represents precision in natural history knowledge and appreciation for both crocodilian forms.
Choose from multiple finishes to complement your style. Built with materials sourced from long-established U.S. suppliers and finished by hand in Washington. It's wearable art that celebrates crocodilian diversity with accuracy.
