Here is a exploration I did on crocodile / alligator anatomy. Originally it was meant to be only a crocodile study, but midway through I realized some of my reference was of alligators, whoops. 

I also gave it wings.

Also learned some new workflow additions, including custom 3d brushes and baking processes.

Crocigator

3D scan of a juvenile American alligator (*Alligator mississippiensis*). Alligators are native to the southeastern United States and to northeastern Mexico. They live in freshwater wetlands such as marshes and swamps. Apart from this species there is only one other extant *Alligator*: the Chinese alligator (*Alligator sinensis*). 

The American alligator can be found in Hall 28 of the NHM Vienna.

**Specimen**: *Alligator mississippiensis* (Daudin, 1802)

**Inventory number**: NHMW-ZOO-HS-15682

**Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Herpetology Coll. (curator: Silke Schweiger)

American Alligator (NHMW-ZOO-HS-15682)

Alligator Sp.

Alligators have no vocal chords but make noise by sucking air into their lungs and blowing it out in intermittent roars.

Accession number: 137.00

Alligator Skull

Alligator walking upright

Skull of a young alligator (Alligator mississippiensis, OUVC 10389) with annotations of some of the blood vessels. It was legally provided to us by the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge for research and education. We scanned the head region on the OUµCT scanner at a resolution of 90µm (0.090 mm). Scan data were imported into workstations running Avizo and digitally extracted the bones and soft tissues. This specimen was used by David Dufeau during his dissertation research and then was used by Ruger Porter during his dissertation research on dinosaur blood vessels and their role in thermal physiology. This specimen was part of the sample included in the PLOS ONE article by Dufeau and Witmer (http://bit.ly/2dWhTNZ) and a Journal of Anatomy article by Porter, Sedlmayr, & Witmer (http://bit.ly/2e0WqVg). The original CT scan data can be downloaded on Dryad (http://bit.ly/2ebdnZS), along with a 3D PDF that provides comparable content to what’s here but allows more control. The model can be downloaded  here as an FBX.
