Talk:Chinese alligator

Chinese alligators in captivity
Where are Chinese Alligators held in captivity?

Size
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)

Class
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)

Jeff Corwin
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)

"Martial Arts" section
The section named "Martial Arts" seems to be pretty useless.ARAL2001 (talk) 18:46, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

English language
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)

Snails are mollusks
"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.

 * You have a point, but strangely this is the exact statement as given in the book (the passage can be seen on Google books - ). I assume the authors mean "other freshwater molluscs", but phrased it in an unclear way. Not really in our bailiwick to interpret though, I'm afraid :/ -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:18, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
