Counting Teeth on an Alligator Skull

Small, pointed teeth run along the jaw, and the bone above them is pitted like weathered stone. This alligator skull replica is hand cast in plaster and measures 22 in long. It has the broad snout of the American alligator, eye sockets set high, and nostrils at the tip. It is a plaster cast, not a real skull.

About the American Alligator

The alligator lineage reaches back to the late Cretaceous period. An adult American alligator typically weighs about 790 lb and can grow to 13 ft long. The largest on record, found in Louisiana, measured 19.2 ft.

Teeth are the real story. An alligator keeps 74 to 80 teeth in its mouth at a time. As they wear down, new teeth replace them. Over a lifetime, one animal can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth. So how many can you count on this skull?

Reading the Bone Texture

Alligator skull bone is deeply pitted and ridged. This alligator skull replica reproduces that surface, down to the fine seams where skull plates meet. Small cracks cross the snout. Each cast varies slightly in color and detail.

Where It Sits Best

At 14 lb, this plaster alligator skull sits securely on a shelf, desk, or console. As alligator skull decor, it suits a study or a natural history display. As an alligator skull sculpture, it holds its own against a plain wall, where pitted bone catches light. Explore more creatures in our Animal Art collection.
