Where are Chinese Alligators held in captivity?
It would be really good to have some information on the average sizes of these animals, especially considering it does say that they smaller than the American Alligator. — The Storm Surfer 04:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I have rated this page as B-class, but it is a very weak B. I feel that a lot could be done with this page. There is only a single sentence describing the conservation efforts being made to save the animal. What are the Chinese cultural views on the animal? Is it involved in any myths? Do the Chinese value it for it's meat or skin? -- Ghostexorcist 15:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I have just read a section on this animal in Jeff Corwin's book "100 heartbeats" and I think this article takes sections of his book unreferenced. Or maybe Jeff took info from here, but that's very unlikely? What do you guys think? Maybe someone should add his book as a reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.1.165 ( talk) 15:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
The section named "Martial Arts" seems to be pretty useless. ARAL2001 ( talk) 18:46, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
There are serious problems with the English language in this article. It needs to be edited for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.4.62.61 ( talk) 09:17, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

There are several later records of alligators on exhibit, and it is said that Buddhist priests could acquire merit by purchasing the captive reptiles and freeing them, so I've added the info about that the priests were Buddhists in particular. The source doesn't provide an exact time period, unfortunately; that would be something useful to include. It does use the word "later" directly after it talks about an event in 1869, but it's too vague to provide any useful time reference for the readers.
except possibly in the most extreme of circumstances, so unfortunately there's not much detail available. I could try to make it a bit more similar to what the source says, or I could just remove it completely, I doubt it adds that much to the article.
Half of the 22 extant crocodilians show evidence of temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), although it is from the 1990s so not entirely recent.
some female Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis) defend their nests after laying eggs while others leave their nests soon after laying eggs, so I'm not really sure the best way to change the wording without changing the meaning.-- SkyGazer 512 My talk page 16:07, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
due to tectonic and climatic changes in the Plio-Pleistoceneand
yet finally were wiped out from Japan due to the semi-isolated condition of the Japanese island arc and the deteriorated climate during the Plio-Pleistocene; I could incorporate that or if that's not enough information I could always add a request at WP:RX for the full article.

Like many other reptiles, it exhibits temperature-dependent sex determination, meaning that the temperature of incubation controls whether a young alligator will be male or female. Would that work? Maybe with a few tweaks?-- SkyGazer 512 My talk page 20:46, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
"A study of the alligator in 1985 showed that snails were the most common animal in its diet at 63%, with 65% of that being river snails and 35% spiral-shelled snails. According to the survey, its diet also contained 16% rabbits, 8.3% mollusks ..." Snails are mollusks. Should that read "... other mollusks ... ? I'm assuming it's mussels, since there are no freshwater cephalopods, chitons, oysters, or true clams that I am aware of, and I've never heard of an alligator eating a slug, but I could be wrong.

@ Esagurton:, is there a reason why you keep removing this image? See also Help:Edit summary. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 15:08, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
