Details:

Behold, the alligator boy! This truly strange and twisted specimen was recovered from the Florida Eeverglades, where the story of the alligator boy is a local legend. As the story goes, human DNA was introduced into the local wildlife by drunken moonshine runners who hid their stills deep within the swamps to avoid the authorities in the early 20's during prohibition. While incredibly unlikely, the upper portion of this creature does look surprisingly like a human being. What is more likely is that, not unlike cro-magnon and neanderthal man, what we have here is a breed of alligator which has evolved a series of advantages in order to compete with the highly populated american crocodile for food in that region. The long, human like arms are capable of grabbing and holding food, and the upright head allows it to be clearly able to identify prey and predators alike. Reports of similar creatures have come from deep within the Louisiana Bayou, however both regions are so full of dense undergrowth and swampland that launching a scientific mission would be nearly impossible.

Our gator boys are made with 100% genuine taxidermied gator bottoms. The upper torso is hand painted molded latex rubber stretched over an authentic human skull replica.

Gator boys range in size from 30 inches to full size, depending on size of gator, and come mounted on a wooden base, with an optional lighted enclosure.

Prices start at the listed price, and vary depending on availability and size.
